Silent Snow, Secret Snow"Silent Snow, Secret Snow" (1934) is Conrad Aiken's best known short story. It tells of a boy who, more and more, comes to inhabit a dream-world filled with snow, that he finds preferable to the world inhabited by his school, his classes, and his parents. Taken literally it is a psychological tale of incipient madness and psychosis. Some read deeper meaning into it, however, taking it as a Symbolist tale of escape from, and rejection of, reality. The story was dramatized as an episode of Night Gallery, with voice-over narration from the story read by Orson Welles.
