Explore "Winter Sunset" by William Carlos Williams on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Then I raised my head / and stared out over / the blue February waste / to the blue bank of hill / with stars on it / in strings and festoons -- / but above that: / one opaque / stone of a cloud / just on the hill / left and right / as far as I could see; / and above that / a red streak, then / icy blue sky!
It was a fearful thing / to come into a man's heart / at that time: that stone / over the little blinking stars / they'd set there.
