Winter has withered everything
in this cold mountain place:
dignity is in
its desolation now, and beauty
in the cold clarity of its moon.
— Saigyo (1118-1190)
Yes, winter has its effect, but behold
the perfectly carved track in the
freshly fallen snow.
This is one man’s compliment to nature’s
cold mountain place.
