quotes: Snow (2).


Snow  21           "Snow, winter’s own cold, white blossoms…." Borland, Twelve Moons of the Year

Snow  43           "We can split atoms, send rockets to the moon, fly faster than sound, but we still can’t subdue a blizzard." Borland, Twelve Moons of the Year

Snow  341         December. "We can’t create a snowflake...the wonder of the evanescent flakes, so frail they vanish in one warm breath, so substantial they form ice sheets and glaciers." Borland, Twelve Moons of the Year

Snow  345         December. "If [snow] comes wet and clinging, it accents the clean, simple structure of every tree." Borland, Twelve Moons of the Year

Snow               350         "Even such a simple thing as a snow flake or an ice crystal is, in a way, a fragment of universal truth...the infinite variety within a six-fold pattern...is beyond human achievement...the power in an ice crystal manifested in winter dwarfs the energy in a man-fractured atom." Borland, Twelve Moons of the Year
