Take one letter from me and still you will see. I’m the same as before, as I’ll always be, Take two letters from me, or three or four. I’ll still be the same as I was before. In fact, I can tell you that all my letters you may take, Yet of me nothing else can you make. – Answer Let us walk in the white snow In a soundless space; With footsteps quiet and slow, At a tranquil pace, Under veils of white lace. –Elinor Wylie (1885–1928) ADVERTISEMENT How to Make Fire Cider to Boost Health Fire cider is a traditional folk drink made with herbs stewed in apple cider vinegar. It’s a potent tonic that’s been used for generations as a remedy to ward off sickness and boost health.
