Sinopsis

Excerpt from Chance Encounters

And you do get it through your head partly, before Philipse is done. You achieve something of a picture of frost. Of a blind white expanse stretching on all sides; sparkling like sun-dust in clear weather; driven, tortured, whirling, when storms, some of them lasting three weeks, are abroad: an apocalyptical expanse, where huge mountains, piercingly aloof on blue, ice-bound days, surge into blood-red splendor at sunset, and where, along the river banks, by dusk and by early morning, iris-tinted mists weave and figure and coil like spirits of the north. And yet, despite all this movement and color, an expanse so pre dominatingly still, so clear, so crystal, that within the great globe of shining glass in which you seem to be caught you hear snow drop from pine trees with the sound of a thousand little wings flying.
