• From “The Seasons: Winter”
      THE KEENER tempests rise; and fuming dun
    From all the livid east, or piercing north,
    Thick clouds ascend; in whose capacious womb

    Heavy they roll their fleecy world along;
    And the sky saddens with the gathered storm.
    Through the hushed air the whitening shower descends...
