The Verbivore read the text from a visual poem written and designed by Morgan Harper Nichols, and posted last December 23rd, 2020. Here are her words and the Instagram link:

“There is a reason the sky gets dark at night… We were not meant to see everything all the time… We were meant to rest and trust - even in the darkness…”

The Verbivore reads a winter quote by poet Edith Sitwell.

“Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home.”

The Verbivore references a centuries old painting that shows people gathered around a hearth. Here is that painting: A Winter Night's Tale by Daniel Maclise (1806–1870)
