ON SNOW
You go to bed in one kind of a world and wake up in another quite different, and if this is not enchantment then where is it to be found?

There's a quote from L.M. Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables that I sometimes think of when the first real snowfall of the year happens:

Thank you for this. I love it!
"At five in the morning, I woke to a wonderful silence. I went to the window and pushed it open carefully. A little heap of snow fell inwards on to the ledge. A light wind was taking it now, moulding and shaping it against the hedges and fences. Everything was bone-white, under the riding moon. I wanted to go out and walk in the fields by myself, to watch for owls and foxes and smell the night smells. Dull common sense and tiredness prevailed. I returned to bed and have ever afterwards regretted it, for such times come rarely and the countryside under the first, heavy fall of snow at four in the morning is a changed and an enchanted place, the imagination would feed upon the memory of it for ever after."
