The elderly, the sick, and the children perceive winter as a sharp rock surrounded by soft grass. The winter is a greedy being. They think the winter pursues them. Truly, they believe winter knows the difference between right and wrong, but it tears flesh with bone [anyway]. Someone says, "While spring wanders and rules, you will possibly possess kindness. And you will give the spring friendly greetings while fairies dance and make green markings [in the world]."[the things in brackets indicate something implicit in the narethanaal text that there aren't actually words denoting, but that make the english translation more smooth]
