the Thoreau Log.
26 August 1860. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  2 P.M.—To White Pond.

  I am interested by the little ridge or cliff of foam which the breeze has raised along the White Pond shore, the westerly breeze causing the wavelets to lapse on the shore and mix the water with the air graduallv. Though this is named White Pond from the whiteness of its sandy shore, the line of foam is infinitely whiter . . .

(Journal, 14:62-64)
