In this quote by Tarjei Vesaas, the speaker reflects on the image of snow-covered bridges, using them as a metaphor for the distance between two individuals in a relationship. The snow symbolizes the barriers that exist between them, yet underneath the cold exterior, there is warmth and intimacy. The repetition of the phrase "Kåpearmen din blir kvit. Kåpearmen min blir kvit." emphasizes the shared experience of being enveloped by the snow, suggesting a sense of unity despite the separation. Vesaas conveys the idea that love and connection can transcend physical obstacles, creating a sense of hidden beauty and mystery in the relationship, symbolized by the "stille bruer" (quiet bridges) that remain undiscovered by others.
