A Hillside Thaw by Robert Frost
To think to know the country and not know The hillside on the day the sun lets go Ten million silver lizards out of snow! As often as I've seen it done before I can't pretend to tell the way it's done. It looks as if some magic of the sun Lifted the rug that bred them on the floor And the light breaking on them made them run.

Answer 1

An ordinary occurrence can seem striking when it is seen through an observer's imagination.

The speaker turns a familiar thaw into a vivid, magical scene (“ten million silver lizards,” “magic of the sun”), showing how imagination transforms the everyday.
