I love this Richard. And, I add to Nancy's comment. Where have our "real snowy days and weeks" gone? Being snowed-in with a soup or stew on the stove and a fire in the fireplace is a heaven to me.
Lovely, Richard, a tribute to a lost poet (lost to most Americans, that is)--I think of him as the Caravaggio of literature. Their lives mirror each other so exquisitely. Ou sent les neiges d'ansan is what I cry every year in Maine as our snows of yesteryear have so diminished. Right now we have a gorgeous cover but it's about to disappear as the globe warms and the rains descend.
Thanks, Nancy. I was actually going to mention Caravaggio, but I didn't want to go too far astray. We're in Colorado now, experiencing some winter, which is great. I may be teaching at Salt Water Farm in July if the class fills. Did you get my e-mail of a few weeks ago? I hope we can see one another somehow. All my best. Richard

I should have gone over that again. I caught neiges, turned into beiges by Spellcheck, but somehow antan became ansan.

Lovely as usual. Happy New Year, Richard!
