the Thoreau Log.
25 December 1858. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  P.M.—Up river on ice to Fair Haven Pond and across Walden . . .

  The sun getting low now, say at 3.30, I see the ice green, southeast. Goodwin says that he once had a partridge strike a twig or limb in the woods as she flew, so that she fell and he secured her . . . Now that the sun is setting, all its light seems to glance over the snow-clad pond and strike the rocky shore under the pitch pines a at the northeast end . . .

(Journal, 11:375-378)
