#OTD Henry David #Thoreau wrote in his #Journal:
The thin #Snow... lodging on my coat
Consists of #Beautiful #Star #Crystals...
Perfect little wheels...
I should hardly admire [them] more if #Real #Stars fell.
#Nature is full of #Genius [&] #Divinity;
[No] #Snowflake escapes its fashioning hand.
[They are the] #Wheels of the #Storm #Chariots.
As surely as [the] #Petals of a #Flower are fixed... these countless #SnowStars come whirling to #Earth.
What a #World we live in!
