Confined by the rain.


April 20.

Rains all day, taking out the frost and imprisoning me. You cannot set a post yet on account of frost.

H. D. Thoreau, Journal, April 20, 1855


Rains all day, . . . imprisoning me. 
See April 20, 1856 (“ Rain, rain, rain, a northeast storm.") See also  April 17, 1857 ("Rain. It rains about every other day now for a fortnight past.”);April 22, 1856 (“These rain-storms -- this is the third day of one -- characterize 'the season, and belong rather to winter than to summer.”)

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.
