the Thoreau Log.
9 January 1860.

Concord, Mass. Thoreau writes in his journal:

  Another fine warm day,—48º at 2 P.M.

  P.M.—To Walden.

  I call that ice marbled when shallow puddles of melted snow and rain, with perhaps some slosh in them, resting on old ice, are frozen, showing a slightly internal marbling, or alternation of light and dark spots or streaks . . .

  After the January thaw our thoughts cease to refer to autumn and we look forward to spring . . .

(Journal, 13:83-85)
