    It was a long trek from Greer’s crash site to the landmark that his computer had set for him. A normal‚ long stride that Greer had grown accustomed to was severely inhibited due to the fact that the snow he trudged through was knee deep; and it only served to annoy him.

    “The Trees” by Philip Larkin The trees are coming into leaf Like something almost being said; The recent buds relax and spread‚ Their greenness is a kind of grief. Is it that they are born again And we grow old? No‚ they die too‚ Their yearly trick of looking of looking new. Is it written down in rings of grain. Yet still the unresting castles thresh In full grown thickness every May. Last year is dead‚ they seem to say‚ Begin afresh‚ afresh‚ afresh. Imagery to Larkin’s “The Trees” Voice
