Signs of Spring

P.M. -- To Flint's Pond, down railroad.

There is something springlike in this afternoon. In 
winter, after middle, we are interested in what is springlike. The earth and sun appear to have approached some degrees.


The ground is partly bare. The cress is fresh and green at the bottoms of the brooks. The banks seem to to lie in the embrace of the sun.

H. D. Thoreau, Journal, January 25, 1853

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.
