The January gale is abroad again today – at noon the sun shines from a cold blue sky; icy roofs glow like rectangular suns; here and there a bit of ice left on the trees shines like a star – The whistles roaring are far away. How the wind tears smoke away from chimneys – it dares not know where to go –
Charles E. Burchfield, January 14, 1920
