Let us walk in the white snow
In a soundless space;
With footsteps quiet and slow,
At a tranquil pace,
Under veils of white lace.
I shall go shod in silk,
And you in wool,
White as white cow's milk,
More beautiful
Than the breast of a gull.
We shall walk through the still town
In a windless peace;
We shall step upon white down,
Upon silver fleece,
Upon softer than these.
We shall walk in velvet shoes:
Wherever we go
Silence will fall like dews
On white silence below.
We shall walk in the snow.

Romantic shoes

Although a little early for snow and highly impractical to be walking in snow shod in silk and velvet shoes... what was she not thinking... this poem does evoke a lovely romantic picture of a snowy day. Velvet shoes, I have seen them pop up here and there and they are a wonderfully festive and indeed romantic shoe for the party season ahead.

As I am writing this we are expecting our first frost of the season here in Vancouver. Warm wool and leather boots will be the dress for the day I am afraid... so much for romantic notions.
