the Thoreau Log.
29 January 1860. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  Colder than before, and not a cloud in the sky to-day.

  P.M.—To Fair Haven Pond and return via Andromeda Ponds and railroad . . .

  As usual, I now see, walking on the river and river meadow ice, thus thinly covered with the fresh snow, that conical rainbow, or parabola of rainbow-colored reflections, from the myriad reflecting crystals of the snow, i.e., as I walk toward the sun . . .

(Journal, 13:111-113)
