A Book of the Seasons: March 30

 March 30.

The thin floating ice
turned on its edge by the wind
sparkling in the sun.
March 30, 1854

Man comes out of his
winter quarters this month as
lean as a woodchuck.
March 30, 1855

With silent footsteps
the spring advances in spite
of ice, cold and snow.
March 30, 1856

The spring advances  

In warm recesses in midst

of  snow ice and cold.

March 30, 1856

Crossing the threshold
between winter and summer—
shoes instead of boots.
March 30, 1860

A Book of the Seasons, by Henry Thoreau
"A book, each page written in its own season,
out-of-doors, in its own locality.”
