A winter morning is a very cold grey dawn. Nature is calm, quiet, and cold. There is sometimes fog all around. Nothing at a short distance is visible when the fog is thick in the morning. We breathe out smoke from the mouth. The surroundings remain silent.
The plants, trees, fields, and water are as if they were afraid of the cold and stand motionless. Streets and grass sometimes get wet in the dews, cold and damp. The daylight is dull and dim. Nature seems to be late. The sun rises late. The day does not start early either.
In the early morning, I seem to be alone awake. All men except the poor are heavily dressed to avoid the cold. Poor people enjoy the wood fire beside their huts or streets. Basking in the sun is pleasant in winter. The morning is chilly. The sun, the wind, the frost, the running water, and the moving ice wear away the soft rocks of highlands like mountains or plateaus.
