Happy Holidays from Curious!
“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently?
And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt;
and perhaps it says "Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.”
Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking Glass
