the prelude

and in the..

frosty season, when the sun

was set,

what contrasts ‘frosty season’?

the cottage windows through the twighlight blaz’d

i wheel’d about,

proud and exulting, like an untir’d horse

all shod with steel,

we hiss’d along the polish’d ice

the pack..

loud bellowing, and the hunted hare

and not a voice was idle;

with the din

meanwhile,

the precipices rang aloud,

the leafless trees, and every icy crag

tinkled like iron

what quote suggests he is no longer close/feels unfamiliar with nature?

a) distant hills

b) alien sound

what follows ‘of melancholy’?

series of caesuras

final line

the orange sky of the evening died away
