I could do it for hours. But it was always the waiting that was the most fun. The eye, partaking of the quickness of the flashing light, saw in its every gleam a multitude of objects which it could not see at steady noon in fifty times that period..

Without at least some rain in any given day, or at least a cloud or two on the horizon, I feel overwhelmed by the information of sunlight and yearn for the vital, muffling gift of falling water. Such sounds it is impossible ever to forget; it seemed as if the whole mountains of the peninsula were answering one another in a chorus of the deepest bass. Ever and anon a flash of lightning dispelled the pitchy darkness, and lit up the tent as if it had been day; then, after the interval of a few seconds, came the peal of thunder, bursting like a shell to scatter its echoes to the four quarters of the heavens, and overpowering for a moment the loud howlings of the wind. The good gray conservative obliterating snow.

D’Angelo, The College Blue Book. The thunderhead collects out over the distant plain giving a show of what is to come. It plays on every bush and tree a different harmony, whistling in the thornbushes, surging in the pines and firs, rustling in the evergreens, in winter chanting a mighty anthem in the bare branches, in summer playing a gay, whispering tune among the leaves.

Listen to its shivering voice in the winter grass, the silky swish of its music in summer meadows, the dry whisper of its song in rushes and reeds. There is wonder in that wandering call in spring woodlands, when first it murmurs from afar, an almost inaudible stir and rumour, growing louder and ever louder as it sweeps through the forest and cries triumphantly in every tree. Never silent, never still, the restless wind seeks everywhere some instrument on which to play its enchanting music. Spurgeon. Only those in tune with nature seem to pick up on the energy in wind.

The sun was shining very brightly, and yet there was an exhilarating nip in the air, which set an edge to a man’s energy. How nice and soft it sounds! Just as if some one was kissing the window all over outside. I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently?

And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, ’Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.’ And when they wake up in the summer, Kitty, they dress themselves all in green, and dance about—whenever the wind blows.. This morning shone as bright as if it meant to make up for all the dismalness of the past days. Clouds and colours of every varied dawn and eve are perpetually touching and turning it from clay to gold, or from gold to ivory.

Chesterton, Alarms and Discursions, . 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.

The sight of the pure and trackless road, with branches and trees supporting snowy burdens bending over it on each side, would tempt us to begin life again. The snow lies handsomely on the shrub- oaks, like a coarse braiding in the air.

They have so many small and zigzag twigs.

The Young and the Restless. The Young and the Restless (often abbreviated as Y& R) is an American television soap opera created by William J. Bell and Lee Phillip Bell for CBS.
