In this weeks Water Closet, Pike, in view of our recent storms, appropriately republishes his essay of February, 11, 2011revisiting John Greenleaf Whittier’s famous poem “Snowbound”. Whittier grew up two centuries ago on a Haverhill farm. Pike also grew up on a saltmarsh farm in Salsbury. Although more than a century separates them in time, their childhood experiences growing up on farms where horses still pulled wagons and plows are very similar. Pike can thus relate to Whittier and his poem “Snowbound” in a very personal way that most of us who grew up in urban areas cannot. I think that makes for some interesting reading.
