At New Bedford


December 25

At New Bedford see casks of oil covered with seaweed to prevent fire. The weed holds moisture. 

Town not lively; whalers abroad at this season.

H. D. Thoreau, Journal, December 25, 1854

The week ahead in Henry’s journal

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.
