Explore "A Winter Landscape" by Leigh Gordon Giltner on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Sheer slanting down the sky an opal light
Pierces the snow-blur's veil of wannish gray,
In iridescent sheen, tingeing the dazzling white
With amethystine, gold or beryl ray.
Along the West the transient sunset gleam--
An ardor brief! Crimson on crimson grows
Till all the waning sky, incarnadine,
Glows like blown petals of a shattered rose.
