the Thoreau Log.
6 October 1851. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  To Bedford line to set a stone by the river on Bedford line. The reach of the river between Bedford and Carlisle, seen from a distance in the road to-day, as formerly, has a singularly ethereal, celestial, or elysian look . . .

  George Tatcher, having searched an hour in vain this morning to find a frog, caught a pickerel with a mullein leaf . . .

  7.30 P. M.—To Fair Haven Pond by boat, the moon four fifths full, not a cloud in the sky: paddling all the way . . . Home at ten.

(Journal, 3:47-52)
