the Thoreau Log.
6 August 1856. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  Copious and continuous rain in the night, deluging, soaking rain, with thunder and lightning, beating down the crops; and this morning it is cooler and clearer and windier.

  P.M.—To Walden.

  The wind, or motion of the air, makes it much cooler on the railroad causeway or hills, but in the woods it is as close and melting as before . . .

(Journal, 8:448-9)
