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.
