\nor dance steps of snowdrops.
\nTheir chief weapon is surprise\u2026
\nlightness and surprise.<\/p>\n
\nare lightness,
\nsurprise\u2026
\nand team spirit.<\/p>\n
\nare such diverse elements
\nas surprise and pale determination,
\nlike the white in human hair.<\/p>\n
\ndown the centre of the road,
\na night sky is a snowfield
\nwith silver drifts of hedges<\/p>\n
\nThe touch of a voice
\ntriggers avalanche\u2026
\nwalk beneath with care.<\/p>\n
