H. D. Thoreau, Journal, February 6, 1860


Compare   February 6, 1855 ("The coldest morning this winter. Our thermometer stands at -14° at 9 A.M . . .At 9 o’clock P.M., thermometer at -16°. They say it did not rise above -6° to-day"); February 7, 1856 ("Begins to snow at 8 A.M.; turns to rain at noon, and clears off, or rather ceased raining, at night, with some glaze on the trees. This the first thawing, though slight, since the 25th of December.")

February  6. See A Book of the Seasons, by Henry Thoreau, February 6

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.
