• And if there are no cars or planes, and if no one’s Uncle John is out in the wood lot west of town banging away at a quail or pheasant; if the only sound is the slow beat of your own heart, you can hear another sound, and that is the sound of life winding down to its cyclic close, waiting for the first winter snow to perform last rites.

• Full knee-deep lies the winter snow,
  And the winter winds are wearily sighing:
  Toll ye the church bell sad and slow,
  And tread softly and speak low,
  For the old year lies a-dying.
  Old year you must not die;
  You came to us so readily,
  You lived with us so steadily,
  Old year you shall not die.

  Alfred Lord Tennyson

  Lying, Winter, Church Bells

  Alfred, Lord Tennyson (2013). “Delphi Complete Works of Alfred, Lord Tennyson (Illustrated)”, p.348, Delphi Classics

  God, Home, Humble
