Day's End in November

 “It is also November. The noons are more laconic and the sunsets sterner, and Gibraltar lights make the village foreign. November always seemed to me the Norway of the year.” 
                                       Emily Dickinson, Letters, 1845-1886

Nightfall from Mt. Pollux tonight was more eventful than anticipated, as the clouds closed in with the darkness, eventually giving up their moisture in the form of rain at first, then sleet and a brief interval of hail. A chilly, biting, true November evening in Amherst.
