Paper LanternSend a card
A man in a long coat and flat cap seen from behind, fist raised to knock at the blue door of a stone cottage on New Year’s night, a lump of coal, a round loaf wrapped in a cloth and a small bottle with a red ribbon on the snowy step, a holly wreath and a brass knocker, a lit lantern on the wall, a black cat on the windowsill by the candlelit window and a robin on the snowy wall in front

What moves in this card

  • The robin on the snowy wall glances left and right, cocks its head and fluffs its feathers, its chest rising and falling as it breathes.
  • The black cat on the windowsill turns its head now and then, swings the tail hanging over the sill and breathes slowly.
  • The visitor raps on the door now and then, two or three quick knocks, and his breath mists in the cold air.
  • Candles flicker in the window and the room behind glows warmly, the lantern on the wall burns and flickers, the fanlight above the door glows, and the brass knocker, letter slot and doorknob catch the light.
  • Stars twinkle above the roof, a shooting star passes now and then, and smoke drifts from the chimney.
  • Snow falls in three depths, snow slips from the roof, the windowsill and the stone wall, snow drifts along the ground in the gusts and frost glints on the snow.
