The imagination has its atmosphere and its sunlight as well as the earth has; only its mists are even more gorgeous and delicate, its aerial perspectives are even more wide and profound...

A pretty bloom of dusky pink
Peeped up from the snow,
I thought, only a dainty flower
Picks such a time to grow...
It bore no warming layers,
Far hardier than I,
A life force unrivalled,
As snow fell from the sky.

Do have a look at the art work of @daviddpearce who next to his long-standing career as American diplomat, has been consistently pursuing his passion for fine arts, creating beautiful paintings and drawings over the years. Here's a small selection.

At Christmastime I like to travel
and am far from the children's jubilation
and go into the woods and snow alone
And somewhere in the woods for an hour,
I trace the scent of childhood
deep down into my mind
and I'm a boy again.

poem & 🎨Hermann Hesse

"Winter's night of cold and dark
slowly turns to day, when the glaze and snowy drifts
gently melt away."

"How many lessons of faith and beauty we should lose, if there were no winter in our year!"
~Thomas Wentworth Higginson

These are words to live by in all hard times. Even the 'winter of our discontent' may teach us valuable lessons.

Sorrow rushed into her soul moaning softly, like the winter wind in abandoned manor houses.
