This Week’s Cover
- Fresh snow in the country is a scene John Falter always wanted to paint, but it seemed to him, as John Ruskin wrote of the English landscape, that snowflakes were “a more conspicuous perfection and changefulness, its surface and transparency alike exquisite, its light and shade of inexhaustible variety.” Falter felt the same way, and so did we, when he brought the painting in. Just how Falter feels today, we don’t know. As he is writing, the roads around Falter’s home in the country are deep in slush, and the streets of Philadelphia are the same. A man can’t see the inconceivable perfection of a snowfall until as well after the snow gets down his shoes. At the moment, we think Ruskin can have it.
