The night was clear and frosty, all ebony of shadow and silver of snowy slope; big stars were shining over the silent fields; here and there the dark pointed firs stood up with snow powdering their branches and the wind whistling through them.

The Night Was Clear And Frosty, All

Lucy Maud Montgomery
The night was clear and frosty, all ebony of shadow and silver of snowy slope; big stars were shining over the silent fields; here and there the dark pointed firs stood up with snow powdering their branches and the wind whistling through them.

More From Lucy Maud Montgomery

In the bleak midwinter frosty wind made moan, earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone; snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow, in the bleak midwinter, long ago.

By the shores of gitchee gumee, by the shining big-sea-water, stood the wigwam of nokomis, daughter of the moon, nokomis, dark behind it rose the forest, rose the black and gloomy pine-trees, rose the firs with cones upon them; bright before it beat the water, beat the clear and sunny water, beat the shining big-sea-water.
Daughter Dark Moon
I will never forget that the only reason i'm standing here today is because somebody, somewhere stood up for me when it was risky. stood up when it was hard. stood up when it wasn't popular. and because that somebody stood up, a few more stood up. and then a few thousand stood up. and then a few million stood up. and standing up, with courage and clear purpose, they somehow managed to change the world.
Courage Purpose World
People have stars, but they aren't the same. for travelers, the stars are guides. for other people, they're nothing but tiny lights. and for still others, for scholars, they're problems... but all those stars are silent stars. you, though, you'll have stars like nobody else... since i'll be laughing on one of them, for you it'll be as if all the stars are laughing. you'll have stars that can laugh!... and it'll be as if i had given you, instead of stars, a lot of tiny bells that know how to laugh.

The fields are snowbound no longer; there are little blue lakes and flags of tenderest green. the snow has been caught up into the sky- so many white clouds-and the blue of the sky is cold. now the sun walks in the forest, he touches the bows and stems with his golden fingers; they shiver, and wake from slumber. over the barren branches he shakes his yellow curls. yet is the forest full of the sound of tears.... a wind dances over the fields. shrill and clear the sound of her waking laughter, yet the little blue lakes tremble and the flags of tenderest green bend and quiver.
Laughter Spring White
When we pulled out into the winter night and the real snow, our snow, began to stretch out beside us and twinkle against the windows, and the dim lights of small wisconsin stations moved by, a sharp wild brace came suddenly into the air. that's my middle-west - not the wheat or the prairies or the lost swede towns, but the thrilling returning trains of my youth and the street lamps and sleigh bells in the frosty dark and the shadows of holly wreaths thrown by lighted windows on the snow.

A worldview is not the same things a formal philosophy, otherwise it would only be for philosophers. even ordinary people have a set of convictions about how reality functions and how they should live. some convictions are conscious while others are unconscious but together they form a consistent picture of reality.

My tattoo is of a cannon in vancouver that i got in a fleeting moment of stupidity maybe 14 years ago. a lot of people have really beautiful tattoos, and i get real tattoo envy. but then other people basically just treat them like bumper stickers for their bodies.
