Solidago bicolor, white goldenrod, apparently in good season

Solidago bicolor

Walked to Walden and Fair Haven Hill with Mrs. Wilson and son, of Cincinnati. 

They tell me that the only men of thought in that part of the world are one young Goddard and Stallo the German. The subjects that engage the mass are theological dogmas and European politics. The man of the West is not yet.

H. D. Thoreau, Journal, August 12, 1852

Solidago bicolor, white goldenrod, apparently in good season. See September 21, 1856 ("[On top of Cliff, behind the big stump]  is a great place for white goldenrod, now in its prime and swarming with honey-bees."); October 2, 1856 ("Solidago bicolor considerably past prime"); October 11, 1856 ("The white goldenrod is still common here, and covered with bees.")

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.
