Winter Box by Shirley Marie Dees
 
Winter Box - Open
 

This appoximate 10" wide x 5" deep x 10.5" tall cabinet borrows from a black and white1914 image from Kay Nielsen in the front of the closed box. The back of the box includes another wintery image whose original artist is unknown, along with the quote, "In the midst of Winter, I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer." Peacock feathers grace the top, the inside floor and right inside door of the box.

There is also an image of Lord Byron on the left inside door, who is quoted on the back inside wall of the box as follows:

"...And for the future, this world's future may from me demand but little of my care; I have outlived myself by many a day; Having survived so many things that were; My years have been no slumber, but the Prey of ceaseless vigils; for I had the share Of life which might have filled a century, Before its fourth in time had passed me by. And for the remnant which may be To come, I am content; and for the past I feel Not Thankless, for within the crowded sum of Struggles, happiness at times would steal. And For the present, I would not benumb my Feelings farther. Nor shall I conceal that with All this I still can look around, and worship Nature with a thought profound."
