'Dust of Snow' by Robert Frost

"The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree

Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part
Of a day I had rued."



🎨 'Crow on snow-covered tree branch' by Ohara Koson, 1945

“Hear the sledges with the bells - Silver bells!
What a world of merriment their melody foretells!
How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,
In the icy air of night!
While the stars that oversprinkle
All the heavens, seem to twinkle” -Edgar Allan Poe

'Why were you born when the snow was falling?
You should have come to the cuckoo’s calling,
Or when grapes are green in the cluster,
Or, at least, when lithe swallows muster
For their far off flying
From summer dying.'
-Christina Rossetti

Annabel Lee
BY EDGAR ALLAN POE

It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.

"Art thou pale for weariness
Of climbing heaven and gazing on the earth,
Wandering companionless
Among the stars that have a different birth,
And ever changing, like a joyless eye
That finds no object worth its constancy?" (P.B. Shelley "To the Moon")

❤️ When Jane tells off Mrs. Reed:

“…you treated me with miserable cruelty…Ere I had finished this reply, my soul began to expand, to exult... It seemed as if an invisible bond had burst, and that I had struggled out into unhoped-for liberty…”
