the Thoreau Log.
25 May 1852. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  Tuesday. P.M.—To Saw Mill Brook and Flint’s Pond.

  The Rhodora Canadensis is not yet out of blossom, and its leaves are not expanded. It is important for its contrast with the surrounding green,—so much high-colored blossom. The Pyrus arbutifolia now. The ferns are grown up large, and some are in fruit, a dark or blackish fruit part way down the stem, with a strong scent,—quite a rich-looking fruit . . .

(Journal, 4:70-72)
