the Thoreau Log.
16 June 1838. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes his poem “In the busy streets, domains of trade” in his journal:

In the busy streets, domains of trade,
Man is a surly porter, or a vain and hectoring bully,
Who can claim no nearer kindredship with me
Than brotherhood by law.
(Journal, 1:51)
