March 15.
Rainy day and southerly wind. I come home in the evening through a very heavy rain after two brilliant rainbows at sunset, the first of the year.
H. D. Thoreau, Journal, March 15. 1859
See March 13, 1855 ("Rainbow in east this morning. ") and note to April 9, 1855 ("In the afternoon it rained, but the sun set clear,. . .producing the first rainbow I have seen or heard of except one long ago in the morning.")
