Or rough-hewn Teretisius, writ in th' antique vain Like an old satire, and new Flaccian?
Which who reads thrice, and rubs his ragged brow.
And deep indenteth every doubtful row.
Scoring the margent with his blazing stars.
And hundredth crooked interlinears (Like to a merchant's debt-roll new defaced, MTien some crack'd Manour cross'd his book at last).
Should all in rage the curse-beat page out-rive.
And in each dust-heap bury me alive." HaUj's Satires.
There are so few obscurities in Thoreau's... writing, that the mieasy malevolence of ephemeral critics has not discovered enough to cite, and his style has that ease and moderateness which appeal to taste.
He had the sense of humor, and in one place indulges himself in some Latin fun, where he names the wild apples, creatures of his fancy. "There is, first of aU, the wood-apple, Malus sylvatka; the blue-jay apple; the apple which grows in dells in the woods, sylvestrivallis ; also in hollows in pas- tures, campestrivallis ; the apple that grows in an old cellar- hole, Malus cellaris; the meadow-apple; the partridge-apple; the truants'' apple, cessatoris; the saunterer's apple, — you must lose yourself before you can find the way to that; the [ 246 ] HIS WRITINGS beauty of the air, deciis aeris; December-eating; the frozen- thawed, gelato-soluta; the brindled apple; wine of New Eng- land; the chickadee apple; the green apple, — this has many synonymes; in its perfect state it is the Cholera morbifera aut dysenterifera, piieruJis dUectissima; the hedge-apple, Malus sepium; the slug apple, limacea; the apple whose fruit we tasted in our youth; our particular apple, not to be found in any catalogue, pedestrium solatium,'''' and many others.
