“The crisp path through the field in this December snow, in the deep dark, where we trod the buried grass like ghosts on dry toast.”  Dylan Thomas, Quite Early One Morning: Stories

“I heard a bird sing in the dark of December. A magical thing. And sweet to remember. We are nearer to Spring than we were in September. I heard a big sing in the dark of December.”  Oliver Herford
