"Sometimes in the theater of winter, a
day will appear with such spectacular mildness that it seems the season
can almost be forgiven for all its inappropriate hostility,
inconveniences, and even physical assaults. With a balmy sky overhead,
melting snow underfoot, and the sound of creeks running the bargain
made with contrasts doesn’t look so bad: to feel warm, one must
remember cold, to experience joy, one must have known sorrow."
