Notes from Wikiquote

They seek warmth from their breasts | None affords to lift a head to greet the guests. | Vision is limited | The road's dark and slick. | Your extended friendly hand is refused | Not because they are confused | They rather keep their hands where they are warmed. | It is frightfully cold. Do not be alarmed... | Akhavan-Sales (1956) Winter; Quoted in website devoted to the poet, 2013
