“The snow was endless, a heavy blanket on the outdoors; it had a way about it. A beauty. But I knew that, like many things, beauty could be deceiving.” ― Cambria Hebert, Whiteout
FEBRUARY TWILIGHT and WINTER SUN (1924) Sara Teasdale
I stood beside a hill
Smooth with new laid snow
A single star looked out
From the cold evening glow.
There was no other creature
That saw what I could see..........
I stood and watched the evening star
As long as it watched me.
THERE WAS A BUSH with scarlet berries....
And there hemlocks heaped with snow
With a sound like surf .....on long sea-beaches
on long sea-beaches
They took the wind..............
and let it go.
The hills were shining in their samite
Fold after fold they flowed away.....
"Let come what may", your eyes were saying.....
"At least we two have had to-day.."
“Snowflakes are one of nature's most fragile things, but just look what they can do when they stick together.” ― Vesta M. Kelly
