in Thoreau’s Journal:

A high-blue berry bush by roadside beyond the bridge––very full of blossoms– It has the more florid & blooming effect because the leaves are few & quite distinct or standing out from the flowers–

the countless inverted white mugs (in rows & every where as on counter or shelves) with their peculiar green calyxes– If there are as many berries as blossoms we shall fare well.
