Now is the time to walk in low, damp maple copses and see the tender, luxuriant foliage that has pushed up, mushroom-like, before the sun has come to harden it -- the ferns of various species and in various stages, some now in their most perfect and beautiful condition, completely unfolded, tender and delicate, but perfect in all their details, far more than any lace work - the most elaborate leaf we have. Unfolding with such mathematical precision in the free air, forming an almost uninterrupted counter of green leaves a foot or two above the damp ground.
H. D. Thoreau, Journal, May 26, 1853
May 26. See A Book of the Seasons, by Henry Thoreau, May 26
