... where I walked, the frost shaped itself to my will, dancing in the air like music over water.

About This Quote

This quote from the book, The Road, by Cormac McCarthy, is about a father and his son walking across a frozen landscape. Even though the father has been walking for days, his son has been walking for months. The view from their perspective would be beautiful if not for the constant struggle to keep going. The beauty of the scene lies in the fact that they have been able to survive.
