Two Winters Long
The books—the generous friends who met me without suspicion—the merciful masters who never used me ill! The only years of my life that I can look back on with something like pride… Early and late, through the long winter nights and the quiet summer days, I drank at the fountain of knowledge, and never wearied of the draught.
Wilkie Collins, Armadale
Pitch-black winter nights live in my bones.
Friedrich Nietzsche, Selected Letters
