the Thoreau Log.
8 February 1854. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  Ann, the Irishwoman who has lived with Deacon Brown so long, says that when he had taken to his bed with his last illness, she was startled by his calling, “Ann, Ann,” “the bitterest Ann that you ever heard,” and that was the beginning of his last illness . . .

  P.M.—Rain, rain, rain, carrying off the snow and leaving a foundation of ice . . .

(Journal, 6:106-109)
