The snow had begun in the gloaming,
And busily all the night
Had been heaping field and highway
With a silence deep and white.

The First Snowfall, st. 1 (1849).James Russell Lowell

God makes sech nights, all white an' still,
Fur'z you can look or listen,
Moonshine an' snow on field an' hill,
All silence an' all glisten.James Russell Lowell
We must be mad, literally mad, as a nation to be permitting the annual inflow of some 50,000 dependents, who are for the most part the material of the future growth of the immigrant-descended population. It is like watching a nation busily engaged in heaping up its own funeral pyre.
Enoch Powell
The silence of a winter's night
brings memories I hold inside;
remembering a blue moonlight
upon the fallen snow.Enya
The cold blast at the casement beats;
The window-panes are white;
The snow whirls through the empty streets;
It is a dreary night!Epes Sargent
Footprints in the snow have been unfailing provokers of sentiment ever since snow was first a white wonder in this drab-coloured world of ours.
