4 " Pale as ice you passed me by;
I wondered what you really felt,
And waited through the changing times,
To see if you would one day melt.

But there were thing I did not know:
The sun can touch the outer layers
But does not reach the deepest snow.

Summer's sometimes far away,
But winter always turns to summer,
As surely as does night to day. "

9 " Mr. Lindell's English classes are meant to make you think I guess about yourself and people and everything. Some of the kids say it's pretty weird but they're more honest in English than they are anywhere else and they say more about what they feel...Everything that's said in English etches itself clearly and sharply in my mind like letters carved neatly into deep frost. But I never let them see how eagerly I listen. "
