the Thoreau Log.
3 May 1838. Portland, Maine.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  Boston to Portland . . .

  What, indeed, is this earth to us of New England but a field for Yankee speculation? The Nantucket whaler goes a-fishing round it, and so knows it,-wlbe the lord of creation . . .

(Journal, 1:46-147)
