The simplicity of winter has a deep moral. 

The return of nature, after such a career of splendor and prodigality, 

to habits so simple and austere, is not lost either upon the head or the heart. 

It is the philosopher coming back from the banquet and the wine 

to a cup of water and a crust of bread.

 John Burroughs, Winter Sunshine
