Finally, coming to a stop and sweeping a curtsey with the utmost grace to the King, who was shuffling past on the arm of some Lord-in-waiting, the unknown skater came to a standstill. She was not a handsbreadth off. She Was a woman. VIRGINIA Woo LF, Orlando Cold Heart Now all things smile: only my love doth lower, Nor hath the scalding noon-day sun the power To melt that marble ice, which still doth hold Her heart congeal’d, and makes her pity cold... Amyntas now doth with his Chloris sleep Under a sycamore, and all things keep Time with the season: only she doth carry June in her eyes, in her heart January. THomas Carew, The Spring Snow Queen When they were in the midst of their playing there came a great sledge. It was painted quite white, and in it sat somebody wrapped in a rough white fur, and with a white rough cap on his head. The sledge drove twice round the square, and Kay bound his little sledge to it, and so he drove on with it... Then the snow began to fall so rapidly that the boy could not see a hand’s breadth before him, but still he drove on. Now he hastily dropped the cord, so as to get loose from the great sledge, but that was no use, for his sledge was fast bound to the other, and they went on like the wind. Then he called out quite loudly, but nobody heard him; and the snow beat down, and the sledge flew onward; every now and then it gave a jump, and they seemed to be flying over hedges and ditches. ‘The boy was quite frightened. He wanted to say his prayers, but could remember nothing but the multiplication table. The snowflakes became larger and larger, at last they looked like great white fowls. All at once they sprang aside and the great sledge stopped, and the person who had driven it rose up. The fur and the cap were made altogether of ice. It was a lady, tall and slender, and brilliantly white: it was the Snow Queen. Hans ANDERSEN, The Snow Queen comicloooks.comn
