Photo Friday - Dreams of Spring

In the depth of winter, 

I finally learned that within me 

there lay an invincible summer. 
Albert Camus

In the bleak midwinter 

Frosty wind made moan, 

Earth stood hard as iron, 

Water like a stone; 

Snow had fallen, 

snow on snow, 

Snow on snow, 

In the bleak midwinter, 

Long ago. 
Christina G. Rossetti

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

Up rose the wild old winter-king, 

And shook his beard of snow; 

"I hear the first young hard-bell ring, 

'Tis time for me to go! 

Northward o'er the icy rocks, 

Northward o'er the sea, 

My daughter comes with sunny locks: 

This land's too warm for me!" 
Charles Godfrey Leland

Happy Friday!
