vagares the ice storm: when a leafless tree is clothed with ice from the bottom to the top-ice that is as bright and clear as crystat when every
bough and tuig is strung with ice beads, frozen dewdrops and the whole tree sparkles cold and white like the Shah of Persia's diamond plume.

with all manner of colored fres which change and change again with inconceivable rapidity from blue to red, from red to green and green to gold
the tree becomes a spraying fountain a very explosion of dazzling jewels and it stands there the acme, the climax, the supremest possibility in
