<div class="verse">I wonder if the snow loves the trees and
fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you
know, with a white quilt, and perhaps it says, "Go to sleep,
darlings, till the summer comes again."

I've mentioned ritual before, but I think that's tied into the larger feeing
of portentousness. Ritual is one way to sate that sense of intense meaning
surrounding an act or an object.

Any little thing can carry meaning for one person far outweighing what it
might mean to others. Something about flocks of geese terrifies me. It's not a
logical fear, it's a sense of foreboding. It's not the geese themselves, it's
the concept of geese, the lack of any ritual to solve the problem of geese.

It's dumb. Geese are dumb. There's no reason I should feel any sort of
emotion at all surrounding geese, but I do.

Ritual is like that. There is some level of meaning that's inexpressible
except if you can find a way to come at it from the side. Use words like
'portent'. Describe it as an odor, a sense, a mystery. Ritual and sensation
are wily and wary critters that want nothing less than to be identified, pointed
out, made plain. You're supposed to just go along with the ritual and accept
the portentous as fact.
