Last night—up at 3:00—the moon just past the zenith (to the west)—very brilliant and cold—the shadows of trees on the moonlit snow—I thought of remote woodlands and pastures under a winter moon, and how such things seem so far away, and remote for me, and how I would love to experience again a walk in the country under such a moon—
