Quote of the Day (Thomas Hardy, on ‘Snow in the Suburbs’)

“Every branch big with it,

    Bent every twig with it;

Every fork like a white web-foot;

Every street and pavement mute.”—Thomas Hardy (1840-1928), “Snow in the Suburbs,” from Human Shows, Far Phantasies, Songs, and Trifles (1925)

The scene on my street, following the blizzard (one so far!) of the Winter of 2013.
