Quote:
“The touch of these snow-flowers in calm weather is infinitely gentle – glinting, swaying, settling silently in the dry mountain air, or massed in flakes soft and downy. To lie out alone in the mountains of a still night and be touched by the first of these small silent messengers from the sky is a memorable experience, and the fineness of that touch none will forget ” (Muir 124-125).
