At this dim season of the year we hunger for such tales. Winter's tales, they are. We want to huddle round them, as if around a small but cheerful fire... It was the right thing to do on the darkest day of the year.
In the heart of winter, we find ourselves seeking comforting stories that can warm our spirits. As daylight wanes and the cold settles in, these narratives become like a friendly fire, drawing us in and offering solace. The evocative imagery of gathering around such tales resonates deeply during the bleakest times of the year.
Margaret Atwood's "The Tent" encapsulates this longing for warmth and connection through storytelling. On the darkest day, the idea of sharing stories feels particularly meaningful, providing not just entertainment but also a sense of community and hope amidst the harshness of winter.
