The Ice Wreath Reprinted From The Wilson Mirror
A vivid Christmas scene titled The Ice Wreath describes a rain sleet turning to sparkling ice across Wilson on a Saturday. Trees, steeples, and telegraph wires glitter like crystal. the town becomes a celestial landscape of light and beauty even as some trees shed their icy burdens. The writer vows the scene was deific and unphotographable, ending in self deprecation over the limits of description.
