Their winter was the clear-skied sun, shrinking to the point of celestial diamond fire. Winter was the iron-dark night, descended in silence, then unleash'd with voiceless sounds of midnight storms, unseen. And in the day encircl'd white, no distance judged, they saw the fields of ice that crested heavenwards and fell as the still wake of frozen seas. In starless night satin frost cover'd them, block'd all the light and shadow'd surface of ground beneath a mantle canopy, of iron bound in white  light and Black Ice.
