Sought.

Caillebotte, Rooftops Under Snow, 1878


The DARKLING THRUSH

I leant upon a coppice gate
            When Frost was spectre-gray,
And Winter’s dregs made desolate
             The weakening eye of day.
The tangled bine-stems scored the sky
             Like strings of broken lyres,
And all mankind that haunted nigh
             Had sought their household fires.

Thomas Hardy

Thank you, Kurt.
