The Sun and Fog contested

The Sun and Fog contested
The Government of Day—
The Sun took down his Yellow Whip
And drove the Fog away—

The Sun and Fog contested
Emily Dickinson


We got up early one morning to drive over to Prior Park, located in Bath England. It is an 18th century landscape garden created by Bath entrepreneur Ralph Allen with advice from poet Alexander Pope and Lancelot 'Capability' Brown, foremost English master of garden design. It was really foggy and there was a light frost on the blades of grass. As the sun rose higher the fog and the frost dissipated.
