"Blizzard" by William Carlos Williams:
Snow:years of anger followinghours that float idly down —the blizzarddrifts its weightdeeper and deeper for three daysor sixty years, eh? Thenthe sun! a clutter ofyellow and blue flakes —Hairy looking trees stand outin long alleysover a wild solitude.The man turns and there —his solitary track stretched outupon the world.
