the Thoreau Log.
9 July 1858. Tuckerman’s Ravine, N.H.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  Walked to the Hermit Lake, some forty rods northeast . . .

  I ascended the stream in the afternoon and got out of the ravine at its head, after dining on chiogenes tea, which plant I could gather without moving from my log seat . . .

  Returning, I sprained my ankle in jumping down the brook, so that I could not sleep that night, nor walk the next day . . .

(Journal, 11:29-33)
