An Observation by Henry David Thoreau on 4 May 1857

On this day in 1857, Henry David Thoreau wrote the following observation in his journal:

Perhaps the most generally interesting event at present is a perfectly warm and pleasant day. It affects the greatest number, the well out of doors and the sick in chambers. No wonder the weather is the universal theme of conversation.
