To Tarbell Hill again with the Emersons, a-berrying. Very few berries this year.



H. D. Thoreau, Journal, August 7, 1855

A-berrying. See August 7, 1856 ("With a berry party, ride to Conantum.")

To Tarbell Hill. See August 6, 1854 ("To Tarbell Hills by boat. "); August 6, 1855 ("Down river to Tarbell Hill with C.")

Very few berries this year. See August 4, 1856 ("Conantum hillside is now literally black with berries. What a profusion of this kind of food Nature provides, as if to compensate for the scarcity last year!")

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