Yaddo: The Grand Manor Woodsmoke and a distant loudspeaker Filter into this clear Air, and blur. The red tomato's in, the green bean; The cook lugs a pumpkin From the vine For pies.

Indoors, Tiffany's phoenix rises Above the fireplace; Two carved sleighs Rest on orange plush near the newel post. Wood stoves burn warm as toast. The late guest Wakens, mornings, to a cobalt sky, A diamond-paned window, Zinc-white snow. —Sylvia Plath --
