I'm delighted to have introduced you to "Late Snow." I also recommend another poem by him: "Winter Nightfall." Believe it or not, it is a sort of precursor to Larkin's "Mr Bleaney."<br /><br />Your anecdote about your London to Glasgow trip is very nice: I can see how "Late Snow" would resonate for you.

"Late Snow" is a delightful poem. I found it wonderfully evocative. Two years ago I travelled by train from London to Glasgow through 400 miles of landscapes blanketed in snow. It was an amazing, unforgettable,journey. Had I known of "late Snow" then, I'm sure it would have immediately come to mind. I'm sure that on future snowy forays it will certainly do so.<br />Best regards, Andy.Andy Mcewannoreply@blogger.com
