the Thoreau Log.
9 September 1858. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  P.M.—To Waban Cliff . . .

  It requires a different intention of the eye in the same locality to see different plants, as, for example, Juncacew and Graminew even;i.e.,I find that when I am looking for the former, I do not see the latter in their midst . . .

  Rice says he saw two meadow-hens when getting his hay in Sudbury some two months ago, and that they breed there . . .

(Journal, 11:152-155)
