Introduction to 'Letters from Yorkshire'
The doors at the house are open. The cold of winter is past; the field remains bare, yet in the distance, the hills are clothed with green, stretching afar like gentle waves. Through the window, the landscape is framed with frost and snow, but the warmth of the sun begins to seep through, awakening the earth. A letter lies unopened on the table, its edge slightly frayed, bearing the faint scent of the autumn breeze. Outside, the sound of distant farm animals echoes softly, mingling with the whispering wind. The poet captures the quiet transition from winter to spring, reflecting a sense of hope and renewal. The rural scene is painted with delicate detail, evoking a sense of longing and connection to the land and the loved one afar.
