Winter is icumen in,
Lhude sing Goddamm,
Raineth drop and staineth slop,
And how the wind doth ramm!

Sing: Goddamm.

Skiddeth bus and sloppeth us,
An ague hath my ham.
Freezeth river, turneth liver,
Damm you; Sing: Goddamm.

Goddamm, Goddamm, 'tis why I am, Goddamm,

So 'gainst the winter's balm.
Sing goddamm, damm, sing goddamm,
Sing goddamm, sing goddamm, DAMM.

-- Ezra Pound, ca. 1915

He didn't like snow, I take it.

It wasn't just the cut of Mussolini's jib that bade him move to Italy.

Is there anything more beautiful than a landscape covered in fresh snow, is there anything uglier than the dirty snow of a couple of days later?

Snow...

It's been years since I've experienced it. I miss it not.

Makes for some nice pictures though!
