“The eye is dazzled by their beautiful whiteness, and as they fall the mind is entranced. A cold blast from the north, and ice grows hard on the water, settling on every pool, as though the water were putting on a breastplate. He consumes the hills, scorches the wilderness and withers the grass like fire. Cloudy weather quickly puts all to rights, and dew brings welcome relief after heat. By his own action he achieves his end, and by his word, all things are held together.”
