From the bay window near Easter, a boy with a school book and a circling rabbit enter a wary courtship in snow, shadow, and almost folded hands.

The rabbit circling on the snow hill feels less like prey than like a creature testing the boy's worth. When the boy sits on his haunches and bids without cunning, the scene shifts from chase to invitation. The rabbit coming toward empty, almost folded hands gives the whole exchange a near-sacramental suspense.
