'I've wintered alone in these mountains, he said, 'and I've seen snowslides pounce out of a clear sky a puff and a flash and a roar; an' trees four foot across snappin' like kindlin' wood not because it hit 'em; only the breath of it struck them; and maybe a man lying dead somewheres under his cabin timbers. That's no mother's love-tap. Pillows and flowers ain't in it.
