“Snow sweeping downward, While the flowers reach upward--Winter storm in spring.”

“When we feel weak, all we have to do is wait a little while. The spring returns and the winter snows melt and fill us with new energy.”

“Winter was nothing but a season of snow; spring, allergies; and summer...It was the worst. That was swimsuit season.”

“She tells her love while half asleep, In the dark hours, With half-words whispered low: As Earth stirs in her winter sleep And puts out grass and flowers Despite the snow, Despite the falling snow.”

“For winter's rains and ruins are over, And all the season of snows and sins; The days dividing lover and lover, The light that loses, the night that wins; And time remembered is grief forgotten, And frosts are slain and flowers begotten, And in green underwood and cover Blossom by blossom the spring begins.”

“In the spring or warmer weather when the snow thaws in the woods the tracks of winter reappear on slender pedestals and the snow reveals in palimpsest old buried wanderings, struggles, scenes of death. Tales of winter brought to light again like time turned back upon itself.”
