the Thoreau Log.
22 December 1859. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  Another fine winter day.

  P.M.—To Flint’s Pond. C. [William Ellery Channing] is inclined to walk in the road, it being better walking there, and says: “You don’t wish to see anything but the sky to-day and breathe this air” . . . Three men are fishing on Flint’s Pond, where the ice is seven or eight inches thick . . .

(Journal, 13:37-40)
