Стильный "The New Yorker" 50-х (на картинке) с верой в прогресс и надеждой на лучшее будущее про снегопад в городе детскими стихами 20-х от Рейчал Филд.
Snow is out of fashion,
But it still comes down,
To whiten all the buildings
In our town;
To dull the noise of traffic;
To dim each glaring light
With star-shaped feathers
Of frosty white.
And not the tallest building
Halfway up the sky;
Or all the trains and buses,
And taxies scudding by;
And not a million people,
Not one of them at all,
Can do a thing about the snow
But let it fall!
