The field was covered with ice crystals sticking up like a garden of little diamonds. Sophia was beside her now, and the two animals walked slowly into the crystal blossoms. Flora was enchanted. For a moment she forgot she was hungry, tired, and ill-equipped to make this journey. She forgot to worry about Oscar. She forgot to worry that there would never be a useful job for her. She kicked up her front hooves with each step and watched the ice crystals scatter in front of her. . Chris Kurtz
About This Quote

The quote, "The field was covered with ice crystals sticking up like a garden of little diamonds," is a metaphor describing the beauty of a field covered by snow or other forms of ice. When it's cold outside, people often get the impression that the world is cold and barren. The season is characterized by a lack of green grass and trees, and it's difficult to find flowers in the winter. In reality, though, life is full of beauty and love even when there's no green in sight. This quote reminds us all to look beyond appearances and to see what's really going on in the world.
