SNOW-THING

When it snows ain't it thrilling?
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play the Eskimo way
Walking in the winter wonderland

—Richard B. Smith

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things

—Oscar Hammerstein

We set what is thought in opposition to what appears, as Anaxagoras set the appearance that snow is white in opposition to the claim that snow is frozen water; however, since water is black, it follows that snow is black.
