untrodden snow pure and still --

How swiftly the earth appears to revolve at sunset, which at midday appears to rest on its axle! December 21, 1851
We are tempted to call these the finest days of the year. December 21, 1854

Fair Haven Pond, for instance, a perfectly level plain of white snow, untrodden as yet by any fisherman, surrounded by snow-clad hills, dark evergreen woods, and reddish oak leaves, so pure and still.December 21, 1854
