I while I write, you while you read, and others while they listen or stop their ears, they are all dying. ~Petrarch

In what bold relief stand out the lives of all walkers of the snow! The snow is a great tell-tale, and blabs as effectually as it obliterates. I go into the woods, and know all that has happened.
