Everything – whether you live in the middle of town or the middle of the countryside and however dull and quotidian – is stiller, quieter. The pace of life is forced to slow in a land suddenly rendered both beautiful and unfamiliar. You can't help but look at your world anew and the sight restores and replenishes, at some deep and primal level, the soul. It's the loss of that sense of restoration that causes us to bemoan the modern lack of proper seasons.
