icicle

A little flock of these titmice came daily to pick a dinner out of my woodpile, or the crumbs at my door, with faint flitting lisping notes, like the tinkling of icicles in the grass, or else with sprightly day day day, or more rarely, in spring-like days, a wiry summery phe-be from the woodside.

They covered nearly the entire surface of one side of the gorge, the lowest of them reaching even to the water.

Reports said he had suffered a direct hit from the falling "heavy icicle".

Look for versions where the light moves down the icicle so it looks like dripping water.
