Detailed explanation-1: -Joyce uses snow to illustrate both the weak and the strong traits of water and ice, thus snow represents the fissures and cracks, as well as the strength and beauty, that embody life. Just as falling snow covers all of nature, Joyce’s snow unifies humanity with the imperfect uniqueness of human nature.
Detailed explanation-2: -For some of us, winter may be a symbol of death and barrenness. Nothing can be starker than a wintry white landscape of bare trees, devoid of leaves that once adorned their crowns in full glory during summertime.
Detailed explanation-3: -Snow often represents many things. Typically, poetry that takes place in the winter leverages the cold bleakness of the season to express feelings of isolation, sadness, and death. Ice and snow are usually part of this imagery.
