Spring (Walden)
Formations
Thoreau gets excited when he watches clay and sand break through the snow on the side of the railroad.
The sand foliage makes Thoreau feel like he is standing in the mist of the mysterious world that he was created into.
The thawing and formation is in the leaves, ice crystals, and blood vessels.
Thoreau compare people to a mass of thawing clay and compare the fingers and toes to leaves and the ears to lichen.

Nature
When some of the snow melts Thoreau can see grass, wildflowers, and some surviving weeds.

Thoreau's excitement from hearing birds reflects on his deep love for nature as a Transcendentalist.

Walden
-
The sun warms the surface of the water and leaves it cold at night similar to the year's seasonal cycles.
Thoreau hit Flint's Pond in late February and got a gong like sound back and for the rest of the day it was sensitive to atmospheric changes.
Thoreau quotes, "Walden was dead and is alive again" and feels as if his soul is alive once more as his house is now filled with light.
Spring
Thoreau feels that it is a great opportunity that he is able to really see nature came back to life in the woods.

The seasonal changes make the freezing and melting of the pond very interesting. Thoreau saw a man who tried to row his boat to Fair Haven but to his surprise it was frozen.
Thoreau discusses the sounds he hears and the loons coming back in May which transitions to the change of the seasons into summer.
