Question

In "the sky is low , the clouds are mean," what season does the poet describe?
What the mood do the words rut, complain, and mean convey about the season?

Answer 1

The sky is low, the clouds are mean,
A travelling flake of snow
Across a barn or through a rut
Debates if it will go.

A narrow wind complains all day
How some one treated him;
Nature, like us, is sometimes caught
Without her diadem
— Emily Dickinson

There’s a word in the second line that should help you figure out the season.
Those 3 words indicate negative thoughts, depressing weather, etc.

Answer 2

Thank you so much
