the Thoreau Log.
3 March 1841. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  I hear a man blowing a horn this still evening – and it sounds like the plaint of nature in these times (Journal, 1:226-227).

Thoreau is probably invited to join Brook Farm around this time. He writes in his journal on 3 March:

  As for these communities, I think I had rather keep bachelor’s hall in hell than go board in heaven (Henry Thoreau: A Life of the Mind, 100-3; Brook Farm: The Dark Side of Utopia, 133-4; Journal, 1:227).
