And piles of iron-gray wool for their men’s winter stockings ...

Plain comfortable sight ... proof against sharp frost bite

Of the Northern Winters.

See how the oranges have caught up all the light!

What joyous tones they hold

Of vivid, bold,

Hot colour!

They glow like balls moulded of molten gold.

Above them from the rafters hang thin strings and strings,

Innumerable strings
