Under Emerson Cliff

September 26.

P . M . — Round Walden and Pleasant Meadow.

Small oaks in hollows (as under Emerson Cliff) have fairly begun to change.

Acorns have fallen after the rain and wind, just as leaves and fruit.

The taller grass and sedge, now withered and brown, reveals the little pines in it.

I see, just up, the large light-orange toad-stools with white spots.


H. D. Thoreau, Journal, September 26, 1860

The week ahead in Henry’s journal
A journal, a book that shall contain a record of all your joy.
"A stone fruit. Each one yields me a thought." ~ H. D. Thoreau, March 28, 1859


I sit on this rock
wrestling with the melody
that possesses me.
