How long?


August 11. 

Panicum capillare; how long? 
Cyperus strigosus; how long?

H. D. Thoreau, Journal, August 11, 1860

See September 4, 1858 ("Panicum capillare . . . is now in prime in garden.")
See August 25, 1858 ("Cyperus strigosus under Clamshell Hill, that yellowish fuzzy headed plant, five to twelve inches high, now apparently in prime.")

August 11.  See A Book of the Seasons,  by Henry Thoreau, August 11

The week ahead in Henry’s journal

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.
