Overcast Sunday afternoon walk, through the messy muddy melting snow.
excerpt from "Year's End"
Now winter downs the dying of the year,
And night is all a settlement of snow;
From the soft street the rooms of houses show
A gathered light, a shapen atmosphere,
Like frozen-over lakes whose ice is thin
And still allows some stirring down within.
- Richard Wilbur
