Blow Blow Thou Winter Wind
William Shakespeare
Blow, blow, thou winter wind,
Thou art not so unkind
As man’s ingratitude;
Thy tooth is not so keen,
Because thou art not seen,
Although thy breath be rude.
Heigh-ho! sing, heigh-ho! unto the green holly:
Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly:
Then, heigh-ho, the holly!
This life is most jolly.
Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky,
That dost not bite so nigh
As benefits forgot:
Though thou the waters warp,
Thy sting is not so sharp
As friend remembered not.
Heigh-ho! sing, heigh-ho! unto the green holly...
Appears in As You Like It, Act II Scene VII.

Winter perches like a bird. Wings tucked in so the soul is heard. ~Angie Weiland-Crosby
The cold was our pride, the snow was our beauty. It fell and fell, lacing day and night together in a milky haze, making everything quieter as it fell, so that winter seemed to partake of religion in a way no other season did, hushed, solemn.
-- Patricia Hampl
"Look! the massy trunks are cased in the pure crystal;
each light spray,
Nodding and tinkling in the breath of heaven,
Is studded with its trembling water-drops,
That glimmer with an amethystine light. "
-- William Cullen Bryant - A Winter Piece --
Morning mist sits over this Welsh valley. The foreground grasses are flooded but a hard frost made the valley passable.
... at higher altitudes of the Black Forest only.
This is one of my favorite spots to start a winter walk like I did yesterday.
A nice 8 km path leads from St. Märgen to St. Peter, offering lovely views
to the mountains and remote Black Forest- farmhouses.
Wishing you a happy Sunday, dear friends :-)
Many thanks for your kind visits and comments, on my previous image too.

Der Winter ist zurück, jedoch nur in den höheren Lagen des
Schwarzwalds.
.....Dies ist einer meiner favorisierten Orte für einen Winterspaziergang.
.Ein schöner Höhenweg von St. Märgen nach St. Peter öffnet herrliche
Aussichten auf die Landschaft und abgelegene Schwarzwaldhöfe.
Ich wünsche Euch einen schönen Sonntag :-)
Danke für Euren Besuch und Eure Kommentare, auch zu meinem
