"..hot desire converts to cold disdain.."
Lucrece💙 #gonewiththewind

An orchard of red apples, covered in snow.

‘to-day he puts forth 
The tender leaves of hopes; to-morrow blossoms, 
And bears his blushing honours thick upon him; 
The third day comes a frost, a killing frost, 
And, when he thinks, good easy man, full surely 
His greatness is a-ripening, nips his root, 
And then he falls’

#ShakespeareSunday

That is hot ice and wondrous strange snow.

"The seasons' difference, as the icy fang
And churlish chiding of the winter’s wind,
Which, when it bites and blows upon my body,
Even till I shrink with cold, I smile..."

🖼️ The Incoming Mist, Deer in the Highlands. Charles. Stuart, c.1895-6. Painting as described.

‘So dull and dark are the November days. The lazy mist high up the evening curled, and now the morn quite hides in the smoke and haze; the place we occupy seems all the world.’ ~ John Clare

In a cat's eyes, all things belong to cats. (English proverb)

An illustration by Sidney Paget from the June 1892 edition of The Strand Magazine, showing Doctor Watson, left, and Sherlock Holmes, right, in a railway carriage. The illustration is from 'The Boscombe Valley Mystery', however, not 'The Copper Beeches'. It is also one of the few illustrations of Holmes wearing the famous deerstalker hat.

"It is my belief, Watson, founded upon my experience, that the lowest and vilest alleys in London do not present a more dreadful record of sin than does the smiling and beautiful countryside."
- Arthur Conan Doyle, 'The Copper Beeches'

A large owl and a woodpecker are perched on a branch, sharing warm drinks from mugs. The owl holds a mug with steam rising from it, while the woodpecker has a small bowl of berries. Several small squirrels peek out from a hollow in the upper left, and a tiny creature is visible in a small dwelling below the main branch. A group of smaller birds are gathered on a lower branch, some taking shelter under a makeshift roof. A squirrel on the right carries a small red bucket, a rabbit is nestled among the plants below, and small insects, including a ladybird and a caterpillar, are visible on a mushroom-like perch.

More rain today.

The regenerative powers of a tree trunk, hosting moss and ferns, even as its own boughs are largely leafless. Some bronze leaves are still curled upon the twigs while the others are already fallen on the forest floor, feeding new life despite November's apparent dormancy

November Night
"Listen …
With faint dry sound,
Like steps of passing ghosts,
The leaves, frost-crisp’d, break from the trees
And fall"

Adelaide Crapsey (1878-1915 ), inventor of the cinquain: a 22 syllable, 5 line poem

Forest scene with thick snow, painting.

‘The night is darkening round me,
The wild winds coldly blow;
But a tyrant spell has bound me
And I cannot, cannot go.
The giant trees are bending
Their bare boughs weighed with snow.
And the storm is fast descending,
And yet I cannot go.’ ~ E Brontë #BookWormSat

The living room at the cottage in Brockhampton…

The cottage at Brockhampton, Dorset where Hardy grew up. He walked to school through the nearby woods…you can still retrace his steps. His heart is buried in nearby Stinsford churchyard.

Here is the ancient floor,
Footworn and hollowed and thin,
Here was the former door
Where the dead feet walked in…

The Self Unseeing
Hardy 1901

"... [this visit to Helstone] had not been exactly what she expected. There was change everywhere ... a great improvement it was called; but Margaret sighed over the old picturesqueness, the old gloom, and the grassy wayside of former days ..."
