Winter skies

“It is afternoon, which in winter is evening. The sward of the down is dry under foot, but hard, and does not lift the instep with the springy feel of summer. The sky is gone, it is not clouded, it is swathed in gloom. Upwards the still air thickens, and there is no arch or vault of heaven. Formless and vague, it seems some vast shadow descending.”

Richard Jefferies, Haunts of the Lapwing, 1883

Coddiwompler Reads

Path-finding

"It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to." (J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings)

Walking & Writing

"And what a dynamic, handsome object is a path! How precise the familiar hill paths remain for our muscular consciousness... When I relive dynamically the road that 'cimbed' the hill, I am quite sure that the road itself had muscles, or rather, counter-muscles." (Gaston Bachelard, The Poetics of Space)
