“Beautiful winter means beautiful spring! When you look at great winter scenery, see the flowers, see the bees, see the butterflies, they are all there!” ― Mehmet Murat ildan

 “Snow isn’t just pretty. It also cleanses our world and our senses, not just of the soot and grime of a mining town, but also of a kind of weary familiarity, a taken-for-granted quality to which our eyes are all too susceptible.”

~ John Burnside

Light love is not my fancy
And roving's not my will:
But I can look on beauty
And never get my fill...
~George Elliston
