Snow,snow faster:
White alabaster!
Killing geese in Scotland,
Sending feathers here!
This morning when I first caught sight of the unfamiliar whitened world,I could not help wishing that we had snow oftener,that English winters were more wintry.How delightful it would be,I thought,to have months of clean snow and a landscape sparkling with frost instead of innumerable gray featureless days of rain and raw winds.I began to envy my friends in such places as the Eastern States of America and Canada,who can count upon a solid winter every year and know that the snow will arrive by a certain date and will remain,without degenerating into black slush,until Spring is close at hand.To have snow and frost and yet a clear sunny sky and air as crisp as a biscuit -- this seemed to me happiness indeed.And then I saw that it would never do for us.We should be sick of it in a week.After the first day the magic would be gone and there would be nothing left but the unchanging glare of the day and the bitter cruel nights.It is not the snow itself,the sight of the blanketed world,that is so enchanting,but the first coming of the snow,the sudden and silent change.
