Before her awful glance the tree-tops bow.

And when enraged, she stretches forth a hand—

A long, thin hand—to North, South, East and West,

And draws from thence clouds num’rous as the sand;

They crowd on the horizon, and blot out

The sun’s fair light; then, like a giant’s shout,

The thunder booms at her dread spear’s behest.

(A. P. V.)

Sketch a scene between a “Mr. Woodhouse” of to-day and a neighbour of his.
