The view from our bedroom window. A record setting December snowfall has quieted our little street and Wisconsin Avenue beyond. No one walks, the flakes still falling, everything become a muffled white.
If you don't mind my making your allusion explicit "With mony bryddes unblythe upon bare twyges, That pitosly ther piped for pyne of the colde." (SGGK II.746-7)
Perhaps in the morning, the silence of the street will be pierced by the sound of birds piping piteously in the snow and wind.
ReplyDeleteanon., well played!

I was trudging through that snow in Washington on Saturday night! For less than three blocks, but still.
ReplyDeleteI did not, however, think to myself any lines from SGGK.
