Reindeers Quotes

“The Pleiades and northern lights are still above the mountain. The mountain is in the east, and on its slopes there are reindeer. Reindeer always remind me of trees that have taken to moving. They remind me even more of trees than people do. In the distant past, reindeer were trees as people were, but they haven't come such a long way from their origins, and the branches can be seen although they no longer bear leaves.
I have my bedtime book in my hand and my pocket light and walk toward the mountain over the edges of the moorland in rubber boots. The book is a relative of mine, I feel; it is made out of trees and human thought, and thus the relationship becomes twofold. These are ancient poems that I am taking to the mountains and the reindeer.”

“Many came but only two blue did appear.
Enlaced in a sleigh, all happy the reindeer,
Rolled in the snow that covered the house,
Reindeer darling of she who's Ana Claus,
Yell to the whole world to hear:

Christ, the Lord, oh just so near!
Holy Saints rejoice and sing,
Real life comes for us to bring
In tender thoughts and dear salvation,
So is the Lord and all His Creation.
Tender and sweet as the little things,
Mild and soft He who is the King.
All in one voice echoeing with no parallel:
Save us the Lord, it's Noel, Noel, Noel!”
― Ana Claudia Antunes, ACross Tic
