"Baudelaire sensed the increased intimacy of a house when it is besieged by winter … As the result of this universal whiteness, we feel a form of cosmic negation in action. The dreamer of houses knows and senses this, and because of the diminished entity of the outside world, experiences all the qualities of intimacy with increased intensity."

— So Gaston Bachelard writes in The Poetics of Space as another three inches of snow falls on Cambridge. (via carpentrix)
