  "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, from "The Darkling Thrush" February morning on the way to work, Haworth Rose Castle Cottage, Tarn Hows, The Lake District, Sept '24 East Riddlesden Hall, West Yorkshire Window at Haworth Old Post Office bistro Facebook Video 

  "O Autumn, laden with fruit, and stained With the blood of the grape, pass not, but sit Beneath my shady roof; there thou may'st rest, And tune thy jolly voice to my fresh pipe, And all the daughters of the year shall dance! Sing now the lusty song of fruits and flowers."
