We know that as soon as we type this sentence we are going to regret asking, "where was winter?" By the time this epistle hits your inbox we could have had 3 wicked nor'easters. (See...we were right!) Here's hoping we haven't. But then again, so many people adore snow. Enjoy these few words from
Miguel de Unamuno.
The snowfall is so silent,
so slow, bit by bit, with delicacy
it settles down on the earth
and covers over the fields.
The silent snow comes down
white and weightless;
snowfall makes no noise,
falls as forgetting falls,
flake after flake.
It covers the fields gently
while frost attacks them
with its sudden flashes of white;
covers everything with its pure
and silent covering;
not one thing on the ground
anywhere escapes it.
And wherever it falls it stays,
content and gay,
for snow does not slip off
as rain does,
but it stays and sinks in.
The flakes are skyflowers,
pale lilies from the clouds,
that wither on earth.
They come down blossoming
but then so quickly
they are gone;
they bloom only on the peak,
above the mountains,
and make the earth feel heavier
when they die inside.
Snow, delicate snow,
that falls with such lightness
on the head, on the feelings,
come and cover over the sadness
that lies always in my reason.
In any case, please rest assured that Daniels will be there through any weather to bring you heat in the winter and cool in the summer. Now please enjoy this month's "This Just In..."
