Memories in the snow

Memories in the snow

“In the gloom of whiteness
In the great silence of snow,
A child was sighing and bitterly saying; “Oh,
They have killed a white bird
up there on her nest,
The down is fluttering from her breast!”

And still it fell through that dusky brightness
On the child crying for the bird of the snow.”

(E. Thomas in Snow)
Voerstreek (B)

Silence of snow

Silence of snow

“Out of the bosom of the air,
Out of the cloud-folds of her garments shaken,
Over the woodlands brown and bare,
Over the harvest-fields forsaken,
Silent, and soft, and slow
Descends the snow.”

(H.W. Longfellow in Snow-Flakes)
Valkenburg (NL)
