THE MOUNTAIN in WINTER

            “Faeries, come take me out of this dull world,
                  For I would ride with you upon the wind,
               Run on the top of the dishevelled tide,
           And dance upon the mountains like a flame.” 
                    ― William Butler Yeats, The Land of Heart's Desire
