the Thoreau Log.
6 June 1855. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  P.M.—Up Assabet by boat to survey Hosmer’s field . . .

  You ice the dark eye and shade of June on the river as well as on land, and a dust-like tint on river, apparently from the young leaves and bud-scales, covering the waters, which begin to be smooth, and imparting a sense of depth . . .

(Journal, 7:408-409)
