Snow

 

by Anne Sexton

 

Snow,
blessed snow,
comes out of the sky
like bleached flies.
The ground is no longer naked.
The ground has on its clothes.
The trees poke out of sheets
and each branch wears the sock of God.

 

There is hope.
There is hope everywhere.
I bite it.
Someone once said:
Don’t bite till you know
if it’s bread or stone.
What I bite is all bread,
rising, yeasty as a cloud.

 

There is hope.
There is hope everywhere.
Today God gives milk
and I have the pail.

아름다운 설경과 함께 고운 눈 구절들..

 

 

When snow falls, nature listens.

~Antoinette van Kleeff

There's no such thing as bad weather,

only unsuitable clothing.

Advice is like snow

-- the softer it falls,

the longer it dwells upon,

and the deeper it sinks into the mind.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

 

 

 

Genius is an African

who dreams up snow.

Vladimir Nabokov

 

 

 

Don't complain about the snow on your neighbor's roof

when your own doorstep is unclean

Confucius(공자)

 

 

 

Thank goodness for the first snow.

It was a reminder - no matter

how old you became

and how much you'd seen -

things could still be new

if you are willing to believe

they still mattered.

첫 눈이 있어서 정말 다행이다.

첫 눈은우리가 나이가 먹어서

볼 것도 많이 보고, 많이 겪었다 할지라도

그런것들이 우리의 삶에 여전히 중요하다고 믿고 싶을 때에

다시 새롭게 다가 올 수도 있다고

상기시켜 주켜 주기에...

-Candace Bushnell
