Quote & Verse 15/3/2015

"If a piece of wood is at the bottom of the sea, should it still be considered combustible?" Some Stoic or other

This is the weather the shepherd shuns,

And so do I;

When beeches drip in browns and duns,

And thresh, and ply;

And hil-hid tides throb, throe on throe,

And meadow rivulets overflow,

And drops on gate-bars hang in a row,

And rooks in families homeward go,

And so do I.

THOMAS HARDY
