I see a spearer’s light to-night.

November 15.

The river rising. I see a spearer’s light to-night.

H. D. Thoreau, Journal, November 15, 1855

The river rising. See November 15, 1853 (“The river has risen yet higher than last night, so that I cut across Hubbard's meadow with ease”)

A spearer’s light to-night.  See April 25, 1856 ("At evening see a spearer’s light."); April 25, 1855 ("A spearers’ fire seems three times as far off as it is.")

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.
