As the Winter Solstice approaches, itโs time for another free quarterly ebook. This time I bring you โChristmas at Red Butteโ, a delightful short story by the celebrated Canadian writer Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874-1942).
Peder Mรธrk Mรธnsted was a prominent Danish painter, best known for exquisitely detailed and photorealistic landscape paintings. In this post, Iโm inviting you to join me in a brief exploration of some of his winter landscapes. Iโm sure youโll find them very calming and magical!
John Whittaker Watson was a 19th century poet and journalist from New York. The author of many serials, poems and short stories published in various magazines, today he is probably best known for his poem โBeautiful Snow.โ It is found in the collection of poems by the same title, published in Philadelphia in 1871.
Reading this poem, you immediately find yourself in a wintery nature setting. What T. W. Higginson describes is just a fleeting moment: a wonderful snapshot captured in words.
