“The snow had begun in the gloaming,
And busily all the night
Had been heaping field and highway
With a silence deep and white.”

The snow has possessed the mountains.”

“You have to make more noise than anybody else, you have to make yourself more obtrusive than anybody else, you have to fill all the papers more than anybody else, in fact you have to be there all the time and see that they do not snow you under, if you are really going to get your reform realized.”
—Emmeline Pankhurst (1858–1928)
