"As time rolled forward and took up golden day and silver night to weave them in a braid, they skied and sledded into the hill forests of spruce pine, they went to the inn to dance the Grapesy Dandy and the Birdwalla Shuffle, they made traditional Coheeries maple candy in the shape of a crescent moon, and they sat for many hours as the real moon, the planets, and the stars set the time, and wood burned brightly in the stove." ~ A Winter's Tale, by Mark Helprin
