the Thoreau Log.
29 April 1856. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  Was awakened early this morning by thunder and some rain,—the second thunder-shower of the season,—but it proved a fair day. At mid-forenoon saw a fish hawk flying leisurely over the house northeasterly.

  P.M.—To Cedar Swamp . . .

  It was quite warm when I first came out, but about 3 P.M. I felt a fresh easterly wind, and saw quite a mist in the distance produced by it, a sea-turn . . .

(Journal, 8:316-318)
