“Once upon a time in the land of snow,
where snow-drifts hang like cliffs and icicles do grow.
Along thine winter's path, like a child out to play.
The air so fresh, and sunlight sparkles; what a lovely day.”
-Sherri Harder

“Away, away! the snow is white,
The air is clear, the moon is bright,
To backward glance the village spires,
Tipped with their pale up-pointing fires,
Fade as a holy thought expires.”
-Helen Lee Carey

“Then hail! grand old December,
We welcome you once more!
For the memory sweet of a night you bring,
That came in the days of yore.”

“A serious writer is not to be confounded with a solemn writer. A serious writer may be a hawk or a buzzard or even a popinjay, but a solemn writer is always a bloomin' owl."
