Like withered leaves to quicken a new birth!

~Percy Bysshe Shelley

In winter the stars seem to have rekindled their fires, the moon achieves a fuller triumph, and the heavens wear a look of a more exalted simplicity. ~John Burroughs, “The Snow-Walkers,” 1866 Abruzzo Winter Landscapes | photo: ©GiuseppeMarone
