Thoreau Almanac

We leave this back page to a continuing series of quotes from Henry David Thoreau,
paired with a Concord scene... both applicable to the season.


Strawberry plant




"It is natural that the first fruit which the earth bears should emit and be as it were an embodiment of the vernal fragrance with which the air has teemed. Strawberries are its manna, found ere long where that fragrance has filled the air."(Journal; June 9, 1835)
