A freezing petrol station in the snow
“Which is the sound of the land
Full of the same wind
That is blowing the same bare place
For the listener, who listens in the snow,
And, nothing himself, beholds
Nothing that is not there and the nothing that is.”
(W. Stevens in The snow man)

Winter walks through an open gate
"Some, too fragile for winter winds The thoughtful grave encloses -- Tenderly tucking them in from frost Before their feet are cold." (E. Dickinson in Some, too fragile ....) (Liège (B)
A chair in snow is always sad
“… a chair is shaped for just one thing
to hold
a soul its quick and few bendable
hours
perhaps a king
not to hold snow
not to hold flowers”
(J. Hirshfield in A chair in snow)

Snow-white advertising
“O snow, which sinks so light,
Brown earth is hid from sight
O soul, be thou as white as snow,
O snow, which falls so slow,
Dear earth quite warm below;
O heart, so keep thy glow
Beneath the snow.”
(C.A. Elgar-Robberts in The snow)

4 Signs in the snow
“O snow, in thy soft grave
Sad flow’rs the winter brave;
O heart, so sooth and save,
as does the snow.
The snow must melt, must go,
Fast, fast as water flow.
Not thus, my soul, O sow
Thy gifts to fade like snow.”
(C.A. Elgar in The snow)
