FROM

From a tattered sky
From a sky without wind
From a medicine-bottle
From an oppressive reality
From her
From her thin nose
From his buggy to the post-office window
From his farm
From his pocket
From his business
From his boots
From its six months’ siege
From the stockier foreign breed
From the pale skies
From the same informant
From the inflection of his voice
From the porch
From the sleigh
From the lower openings
From the pure and frosty darkness
From the girl’s face
From the first day
From the train
From the bed behind him
From the whiteness of the pillow
From the throng about the shed
From the first
From the cutter
From the village
From the hills to Connecticut
From the sale of her piano
From the stove
From the banks of snow
From these hints
From where he stood
From within
From sun-up to dark
From hand to hand
From ear to chin
From side to side
From various people
From early morning
From experience


Take all incidents of the word “from” in the first three chapters of Ethan Frome and then rearrange them according to the alphabetic nature of their grammatical constructions—a, his, her, this—but maintaining chronological order within groups. Excise all incidents featuring proper names or places, except where Connecticut is mentioned.
