the Thoreau Log.
9 October 1858. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  Cold and northwest wind still. The maple swamps begin to look smoky, they are already so bare. Their fires, so faded, are pale-scarlet or pinkish . . .

  I go to the Cliffs. The air is clear, with a cold north-west wind, and the trees beginning to be bare . . .

(Journal, 11:202-203)
