Famous lines. Miss Lily considered for a while, compressing her lips and slightly tilting her head, as she did when focusing on something dubious. Then she made a quick, decisive movement of the shoulders. “No,” she said, “he’s got it quite wrong. I know poets have to follow their inspiration, but if he had stopped to think, he would have seen that the cruellest month is November, because you know that winter is just round the corner.”
Accusing that most sober and cerebral poet of ill-considered haste! All her hatred of cold weather in those words, and something more: a literalness of mind that now, remembering it, seeing her convinced face, made me smile broadly in the dark. Poor Miss Lily.
