How would Eddins' "Orphic Naturalism" apply to these others?

It was falling, too, upon every part of the lonely
church-yard on the hill where Michael Furey lay buried. It
lay thickly drifted on the crooked crosses and headstones,
and on the spears of the little gate, on the barren thorns.
His soul swooned slowly as he heard the snow falling faintly
through the universe and faintly falling, like a descent of
their last end, upon all the living and the dead.
