The Snowman
…When the snow melted away the Snowman with its carrot nose, the funny hat and the button eyes, revealed underneath itself a statue. It had been covered with snow so tenderly that it resembled a snowman for a little while, until some children accidentally passing by added the eyes, the nose and the mouth.
Perhaps, after thousands of years, when the rocks will have melted away, they might reveal that the statue as well is something different than what we think it is. Tenderly covered by matter, it may have assumed a random form which does not correspond to its deep and latent essence.
