A Note About Snowlakes #
January 22nd, 2008 | In Worth Reading
The inimitable John Ahearn wrote something truly beautiful today:
Enclosed please find one
perfect snowflake, which fell
this morning on my sleeve button,
framing its six-fold dihedralsymmetry in a circle of brass.
Recalling your love of the hexagram,
I couldn’t let perfection pass,
ran for envelope and stamp.I’m counting on the general chill
to see it to you before it thaws;
not that I really think it will,
but it was lovely while it was.
