“In winter', said Merowdis, lost in her thoughts, 'the wood is supposed to be asleep. That is what people say. But I don't think it's true. In spring and summer the trees and creatures are preoccupied. Everyone is busy. In winter there is silence.' There was silence. But not an empty silence. 'In winter the wood is listening', said Merowdis.” — Susanna Clarke
