WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge: Beyond

    

“Every branch big with it

  Bent every twig with it

 Every fork like a white web-foot;

 Every street and pavement mute:

 Some flakes have lost their way, and grope back upward when

 Meeting those meandering down they turn and descend again.

 The palings are glued together like a wall,

 And there is no waft of wind with the fleecy fall.

 A sparrow enters the tree,

 Whereon immediately

 A snow-lump thrice his own slight size

 Descends on him and showers his head and eye

 And overturns him,

 And near inurns him,

 And lights on a nether twig, when its brush

 Starts off a volley of other lodging lumps with a rush.

 The steps are a blanched slope,

 Up which, with feeble hope,

 A black cat comes, wide-eyed and thin;

 And we take him in.” 

                                 -Thomas Hardy
