Beowulf
Thanks again! Yes, there's some kind of word music in those last lines. The d's and b's in the last three make me think of them over and over while driving and doing the dishes.

Love the "tingletouch of snowspray stings." Very evocative.

Re: snow
Thanks! I'm planning an anglo-saxon sequel about how it all looks a day or two later!

PS I like your husband's name! A popular prof up at Breadloaf English School where I want in Vermont was Wylie Sypher - pleasant, witty, and very learned.

yup I bundled up like a clothes closet, but found it wasn't that bad! We've had much colder days and stronger winds a few times these past few weeks. The snow today was a foot or a foot and a half here.
