the Thoreau Log.
8 January 1855. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  7.30 A.M.—To river. Still warm and cloudy, but with a great crescent of clear sky increasing in the north by west. The streets are washed bare down to the, ice. It is pleasant to see the sky reflected in the open river-reach, now perfectly smooth.

  10 A.M.—To Easterbrooks place via old mill site. It is now a clear warm and sunny clay. The willow osiers by the Red Bridge decidedly are not bright now. There is a healthy earthy sound of cock-crowing. I hear a few chickadees near at hand . . .

(Journal, 7:106-107)
