		Snow is a special thing for me, as it must be for most people.
		I also have vivid personal recollections of Conrad Aiken's short story 'Silent Snow, Secret Snow,' and I frequently recall a conceptual score in Yoko Ono's Grapefruit, which has something to do with listening to the snow.
		Now that I really had listened to the snow, and heard it, I went back to Yoko Ono just to recall exactly what her piece had said.

		"Silent Snow, Secret Snow" is a study of developing schizophrenic insanity-particularly touching because the victim is an all too imaginative and introspective little boy, scarcely twelve years old.
		And the mist of snow, as he had foreseen, was still on it- a ghost of snow falling in the bright sunlight, softly and steadily floating and turning and pausing, soundlessly meeting the snow that covered, as with a transparent mirage, the bare bright cobbles.
		The snow was laughing: it spoke from all sides at once: it pressed closer to him as he ran and jumped exulting into his bed.

		It was the kind of snow only Hollywood could imagine, and for just a moment, we felt as if we had wandered onto a movie set, or at least into one of those magical-realism Volkswagen commercials.
		Silent snow, secret snow, Conrad Aiken might have quipped.
		Banned from many beaches all summer, they frolicked freely along the strands as their owners in snow boots and parkas slogged through the loose sand, trying to keep up.

		If spring is the season of renewal, then winter is the quintessential season of mortality--witness Conrad Aiken's "Silent Snow, Secret Snow," Jack London's "To Build A Fire," or the blizzards that howl through Ole Rolvaag's Giants In the Earth.
		When we pulled out into the winter night and the real snow, our snow, began to stretch out beside us and twinkle against the windows, and the dim lights of small Wisconsin stations moved by, a sharp wild brace came suddenly into the air.
		I am part of that, a little solemn with the feel of those long winters, a little complacent from growing up in the Carraway house in a city where dwellings are still called through decades by a family's name....

		But instead I hear Joyce's devilish hypnosis through alliteration: "His soul swooned slowly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead." I hear Aiken's introduction to melancholy for every junior high student, "Silent Snow, Secret Snow".
		And I hear New England's dour poet of the sturdy fence, Robert Frost, with his terrible snow-zombie refrain of "miles to go before I sleep".
