the Thoreau Log.
23 January 1854. Worcester, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  Love tends to purify and sublime itself. It mortifies and triumphs over the flesh, and the bond of its union is holiness.

  The increased length of the days is very observable of late. What is a winter unless you have risen and gone abroad frequently before sunrise and by starlight? . . .

  At noon, go to Worcester.

(Journal, 6:75-76)
