6 The towering pressures wall you round-- A maze of iceblocks row on row. The tent goes down the dogs inspan-- Look out for your fingers (if you can) And then (if you can) the way to go. The maddening drift goes sifting by, A violet brightness dazzles the eye; The frost rime gathers over the face, The landscape pales through the riseing drift, As you stagger along like a ship in the fog. The ceaseless sound of rustling snow As dry as sand and as hard as ? Is like to the sound of moveing silk. It looks like a shifting sea of milk Through which you wade and plow.
