Description from "At the Back of the North Wind", by George Macdonald, one of my favorite books when i was younger.

i wish it didn't look like her dress is falling off. that was an accident.

The north wind appears in the boy's room. (the hay loft.)

"....what was most strange was that away from her head streamed out her black hair in every direction, so that the darkness in the hay-loft looked as if it were made of her hair; but as Diamond gazed at her in speechless amazement, mingled with confidence-for the boy was entranced with her mighty beauty- her hair began to gather itself out of the darkness, and fell down all about her again, till her face looked out of the midst of it like a moon out of a cloud."

This is one of my favorite books. Beautiful, I love the streaming hair, and the boy's gentle, open expression.

Very cool. I just re-read the book last year. MacDonald was brilliant. "Phantastes" is waiting on the table for me now, actually.
