Paragraph

  1    1|             on the shore of Walden Pond, in Concord, Massachusetts,
  2    1|         purpose in going to Walden Pond was not to live cheaply
  3    1|           have thought that Walden Pond would be a good place for
  4    1|        down to the woods by Walden Pond, nearest to where I intended
  5    1|          which I looked out on the pond, and a small open field
  6    1|       springing up. The ice in the pond was not yet dissolved, though
  7    1|       goose groping about over the pond and cackling as if lost,
  8    1|        stones up the hill from the pond in my arms. I built the
  9    1|         and the driftwood from the pond, have supplied the remainder
 10    1|        laborers who cut ice on the pond, in such mean and ragged
 11    3|            by the shore of a small pond, about a mile and a half
 12    3|       whenever I looked out on the pond it impressed me like a tarn
 13    3|         vista southward across the pond, through a wide indentation
 14    3|           When I looked across the pond from this peak toward the
 15    3|           all the earth beyond the pond appeared like a thin crust
 16    3|            early and bathed in the pond; that was a religious exercise,
 17    5|      sprinkled white sand from the pond on it, and then with a broom
 18    5|         half a dozen rods from the pond, to which a narrow footpath
 19    5|          the glassy surface of the pond and brings up a fish; a
 20    5|     Fitchburg Railroad touches the pond about a hundred rods south
 21    5|        them, and the fishes in the pond no longer feel their rumbling,
 22    5|            one on this side of the pond, and circles with the restlessness
 23    5|         patriarch is not under the pond, but vainly bellowing troonk
 24    5|          or a laughing loon on the pond, and a fox to bark in the
 25    6|       along the stony shore of the pond in my shirt-sleeves, though
 26    6|          just at our door, nor the pond, but somewhat is always
 27    6|      railroad where it touches the pond on the one hand, and of
 28    6|            much more in the Walden Pond of their own natures, and
 29    6|        large pitch pine across the pond, making a very conspicuous
 30    6|        lonely than the loon in the pond that laughs so loud, or
 31    6|            so loud, or than Walden Pond itself. What company has
 32    6|        reported to have dug Walden Pond, and stoned it, and fringed
 33    7|          luxury to talk across the pond to a companion on the opposite

 35    7|          bottomless even as Walden Pond was thought to be, though
 36    7|           them that I drank at the pond, and pointed thither, offering
 37    7|          woods. They looked in the pond and at the flowers, and
 38    8|       woods and this field, to the pond. It is one of the oldest
 39    8|         ripples caught up from the pond, as leaves are raised by

 43   10|            had been fishing on the pond since morning, as silent
 44   10|       while we sat together on the pond, he at one end of the boat,
 45   10|        Formerly I had come to this pond adventurously, from time
 46   10|        which, coming down into the pond, were quenched with a loud
 47   10|       sixty feet of line about the pond as I drifted in the gentle
 48   10|       lived by its shore; yet this pond is so remarkable for its
 49   10|           green in the body of the pond. In some lights, viewed
 50   10|          fro with the pulse of the pond; and there it might have
 51   10|                  We have one other pond just like this, White Pond,
 52   10|         pond just like this, White Pond, in Nine Acre Corner, about
 53   10|          driven out of Eden Walden Pond was already in existence,
 54   10|       Heaven to be the only Walden Pond in the world and distiller
 55   10|           to detect encircling the pond, even where a thick wood

 57   10|                                The pond rises and falls, but whether
 58   10|   converted into a meadow. But the pond has risen steadily for two
 59   10|      springs. This same summer the pond has begun to fall again.
 60   10|        have ever known it. Flint's Pond, a mile eastward, allowing
 61   10|         observation goes, of White Pond.~ ~
 62   10|         lowest. On the side of the pond next my house a row of pitch
 63   10|            By this fluctuation the pond asserts its title to a shore,
 64   10|            into the heavens as the pond now sinks deep into the
 65   10|          escaped, and from her the pond was named. It has been conjectured
 66   10|             that once there was no pond here, and now there is one;
 67   10|           railroad cut nearest the pond; and, moreover, there are
 68   10|        called originally Walled-in Pond.~ ~
 69   10|                                The pond was my well ready dug. For
 70   10|             The temperature of the pond water which had stood in
 71   10|           summer by the shore of a pond, needs only bury a pail
 72   10|          fable. Nevertheless, this pond is not very fertile in fish.
 73   10|          fishes which inhabit this pond, are much cleaner, handsomer,
 74   10|            some other parts of the pond, some circular heaps half
 75   10|       beach at the east end of the pond, in a calm September afternoon,
 76   10|   undeceived. As you look over the pond westward you are obliged
 77   10|           as this, overlooking the pond, and study the dimpling
 78   10|           or an insect fall on the pond but it is thus reported
 79   10|          mist, I observed that the pond was remarkably smooth, so
 80   10|           many such schools in the pond, apparently improving the
 81   10|          who used to frequent this pond nearly sixty years ago,
 82   10|            was; it belonged to the pond. He used to make a cable
 83   10|           potter, who lived by the pond before the Revolution, told
 84   10|            instead of going to the pond to bathe or drink, are thinking
 85   10|      indirectly related to Flint's Pond, which is more elevated,
 86   10|           impure waters of Flint's Pond should be mingled with it,
 87   10|                  Flint's, or Sandy Pond, in Lincoln, our greatest
 88   10|        mould and undistinguishable pond shore, through which rushes
 89   10|           at the north end of this pond, made firm and hard to the
 90   10|                            Flint's Pond! Such is the poverty of
 91   10|                              Goose Pond, of small extent, is on
 92   10|          mile southwest; and White Pond, of about forty acres, is
 93   10|         gem of the woods, is White Pond; - a poor name from its
 94   10|          supposed by some that the pond had sunk, and this was one
 95   10|          man who lives nearest the pond in Sudbury, who told me
 96   10|        finally blown over into the pond, and after the top had become
 97   10|                               This pond has rarely been profaned
 98   10|                              White Pond and Walden are great crystals
 99   11|          cedar wood beyond Flint's Pond, where the trees, covered
100   11|          so much the nearer to the pond, and had long been uninhabited:~ ~
101   11|      bending my steps again to the pond, my haste to catch pickerel,
102   11|           Before I had reached the pond some fresh impulse had brought
103   12|      however, while I lived at the pond, I found myself ranging
104   12|              Moreover, when at the pond, I wished sometimes to add
105   12|       knowledge detained at Walden Pond for a whole half-day any
106   12|          opportunity of seeing the pond all the while. They might
107   12|       Council faintly remember the pond, for they went a-fishing
108   12|        with which to angle for the pond itself, impaling the legislature
109   13|         day in midsummer, when the pond was warmest. Thither, too,
110   13|       along the stony shore of the pond, for they rarely wander
111   13| farm-houses in Lincoln nearest the pond, Mr. Gilian Baker's. When
112   13|          to moult and bathe in the pond, making the woods ring with
113   13|     themselves on this side of the pond, some on that, for the poor
114   13|          though his foes sweep the pond with spy-glasses, and make
115   13|            looked in vain over the pond for a loon, suddenly one,
116   13|          to the widest part of the pond, and could not be driven
117   13|          the smooth surface of the pond, a man against a loon. Suddenly
118   13|           divine where in the deep pond, beneath the smooth surface,
119   13|            visit the bottom of the pond in its deepest part. It
120   13|            this time overcast, the pond was so smooth that I could
121   13|         and hold the middle of the pond, far from the sportsman;
122   13|       round and round and over the pond at a considerable height,
123   14|          turned scarlet across the pond, beneath where the white
124   14|           made the fireside of the pond; it is so much pleasanter
125   14|     fireplace with stones from the pond shore, and also made my
126   14|          already begun to cool the pond, though it took many weeks
127   14|          the opposite shore of the pond in a boat, a sort of conveyance
128   14|                                The pond had in the meanwhile skimmed
129   14|          also the driftwood of the pond. In the course of the summer
130   14|          this piecemeal across the pond, nearly half a mile, skating
131   15|          approaches nearest to the pond, Wyman the potter squatted,
132   15|      forsooth? Ay, the deep Walden Pond and cool Brister's Spring -
133   15|       during my last winter at the pond there was another welcome
134   16|             When I crossed Flint's Pond, after it was covered with
135   16|         the lecture room. In Goose Pond, which lay in my way, a
136   16|    beginning of winter, before the pond froze over, about nine o'
137   16|        house. They passed over the pond toward Fair Haven, seemingly
138   16|         whooping of the ice in the pond, my great bed-fellow in
139   16|           to the open level of the pond, nor following pack pursuing
140   17|                                THE POND IN WINTER.~ ~
141   17|           trembling surface of the pond, which was so sensitive
142   17|            wonder as into a summer pond, as if he kept summer locked
143   17|         When I strolled around the pond in misty weather I was sometimes
144   17|          walked half way round the pond.~ ~
145   17|         long lost bottom of Walden Pond, I surveyed it carefully,
146   17|          rather no bottom, of this pond, which certainly had no
147   17|            the bottomlessness of a pond without taking the trouble
148   17|            I am thankful that this pond was made deep and pure for
149   17|         soundings quite across the pond, and its direction could
150   17|              When I had mapped the pond by the scale of ten rods
151   17|          level, the outline of the pond far from regular, and the
152   17|          the ocean as well as of a pond or puddle? Is not this the
153   17|        form a basin or independent pond, the direction of the two
154   17|          at the deepest point in a pond, by observing the outlines
155   17|             I made a plan of White Pond, which contains about forty-one
156   17|       through, or an island in the pond, would make the problem
157   17|        What I have observed of the pond is no less true in ethics.
158   17|           the water flows into the pond it will probably be coldest
159   17|     leach-hole," through which the pond leaked out under a hill
160   17|       think that I can warrant the pond not to need soldering till
161   17|          feet on a tree across the pond. When I began to cut holes
162   17|          to dry the surface of the pond; for, as the water ran in,
163   17|            cuts and saws the solid pond, unroofs the house of fishes,
164   17|    extraction swoop down on to our pond one morning, with many carloads
165   17|         the skin itself, of Walden Pond in the midst of a hard winter.
166   17|          September, 1848. Thus the pond recovered the greater part.~ ~
167   17|          So the hollows about this pond will, sometimes, in the
168   17|            the ice-houses at Fresh Pond five years old which was
169   18|      ice-cutters commonly causes a pond to break up earlier; for
170   18|         the place of the old. This pond never breaks up so soon
171   18|            days later than Flint's Pond and Fair Haven, beginning
172   18|           in the middle of Flint's Pond, the same day, at 32 1/2';
173   18|          the shallow in the latter pond, and the fact that a great
174   18|            about the shores of the pond in summer must have perceived
175   18|          water in a shallow wooden pond, though the cold air circulated
176   18|          take place every day in a pond on a small scale. Every
177   18|             having gone to Flint's Pond to spend the day, I noticed
178   18|          on a tight drum-head. The pond began to boom about an hour
179   18|       right stage of the weather a pond fires its evening gun with
180   18|        that the "thundering of the pond" scares the fishes and prevents
181   18|         prevents their biting. The pond does not thunder every evening,
182   18|         with papillae. The largest pond is as sensitive to atmospheric
183   18|            come in. The ice in the pond at length begins to be honeycombed,
184   18|            he lived, to Fair Haven Pond, which he found, unexpectedly,
185   18|           side of an island in the pond, and then concealed himself
186   18|          sun, the bare face of the pond full of glee and youth,
187   18|          there lay the transparent pond already calm and full of
188   18|         wheeled and settled in the pond. So I came in, and shut
189   18|       sailing in the middle of the pond, fifty rods off, so large
190   18|        appeared like an artificial pond for their amusement. But
191   18|          the pine woods around the pond, imparted a brightness like
192   18|            May I saw a loon in the pond, and during the first week
193   18|        pitch pine soon covered the pond and the stones and rotten
