"Over beaten path in the snow. But snow will cling to your cassock, then it will thaw out indoors, and freeze again outside, forming a heavy bell round your legs, which gets heavier and heavier... By evening, you could hardly drag your legs, but you have to go on, because you know that people wait for you, that they wait all year long for this meeting..."
(Malinksi, Pope John Paul II, p 249)
