Lot Essay

Mist and clouds are never the same from one season to another. In the springtime, mountains are peaceful and pleasant, as if they smiled. In summertime, they are cool and green and soaked with dew. In autumn, they are clear and pure and gracefully tidy. When winter comes, they become melancholy and heavy with slumber.
