The poem "The Snow" - also known as "It Sifts From LeadenSieves" - by Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) describes the movement and the effects of snow in a lyrical and beautifully metaphorical way. She captures how it falls and covers the the road, the fences and the landscapes, transforming them from a familiar vision into something different and strange in a romantic way.

In the mentioned excerpt, the snow has covered the fields where the harvests were in summer, full of live and vegetation, turning them into an "empty" or barren space. The memories of the plantation in summer have been replaced by an empty field covered in snow, rendering it ghostly and barren.

normally working animals are domesticated and ruled by a master, a domesticator (tamer), to perform basic and important functions on a farm, for example. the value used in this context is animal labor in exchange for food. it is not so much a contrast to the story told by napoleon and the pigs, since the animals of that particular farm also performed functions on the farm through domestication. the only thing is that in this case, who rules them is a pig, also an animal, but very respected, to whom the other animals lent him submission. that's about a strong relationship of dependency between animal and owner.
