Summary: "Snow Flakes (From 'Twice Told Tales') by Nathaniel Hawthorne" is a short piece of reflective prose written during the early to mid-19th century, a period characterized by Romanticism in literature. The book captures the essence of a snowstorm in New England, exploring themes of nature, solitude, and the contrasting emotions evoked by winter's beauty and harshness. In this evocative narrative, Hawthorne personifies winter as a powerful yet nurturing force, blending descriptions of a snow-filled landscape with contemplative thoughts on inspiration and creativity. As the narrative progresses, he observes the snow's transformative effect on the environment, noting how it envelops the world in its glistening white mantle, evoking both a sense of melancholy and beauty. The imagery of snow-covered streets, winter coats, and children engaged in snowball fights highlights the interplay between endurance and joyful play in the face of winter's adversities. Hawthorne ends on a more hopeful note, pointing to the lively presence of snowbirds that flutter amidst the storm, suggesting resilience and the simple joys that persist even in the cold of winter.
