Walden Pond

Lying between the earth and the heavens, it partakes of the color of both.

I am no more lonely than the loon in the pond that laughs so loud, or than Walden Pond itself.

[Walden Pond @WaldenPond]

Walden never becomes so warm as most water which is exposed to the sun, on account of its depth.

As I was desirous to recover the long lost bottom of Walden Pond, I surveyed it carefully

[Walden Pond @WaldenPond]

the few motes in it are pure and beautiful like the imperfections in glass

[Walden Pond @WaldenPond]

Lying between the earth and the heavens, it partakes of the color of both.

[Walden Pond @WaldenPond]

and perhaps a water-target or two

[Walden Pond @WaldenPond]

A closer scrutiny does not detect a flag nor a bulrush, nor even a lily, yellow or white, but only a few small heart-leaves and potamogetons

[Walden Pond @WaldenPond]

The shore is composed of a belt of smooth rounded white stones like paving-stones, excepting one or two short sand beaches

[Walden Pond @WaldenPond]

and hearing, from time to time, the creaking note of some unknown bird close at hand.

and the moon travelling over the ribbed bottom, which was strewed with the wrecks of the forest.

Paddling over it, you may see, many feet beneath the surface, the schools of perch and shiners, perhaps only an inch long
