"In the bleak
midwinter frosty wind made moan'
Earth stood hard
as iron, water like stone,
Snow had fallen,
snow on snow, snow on snow
In the bleak
midwinter, long ago."
Christina Rossetti 1830-1894
Under a crystal
white blanket the earth hibernates, while above, winter weaves a textural
tapestry of browns and neutrals. Lush colors faded like the memories
of the distant summer. In her sleep the earth may dream, until
awakened by the sun in spring.
