nowhere to alight
Ralph Waldo Emerson Ralph Waldo Emerson:
Announced by all the trumpets of the sky,
Arrives the snow, and, driving o’er the fields,
Seems nowhere to alight; the whited air
Hides hills and woods, the river, and the heaven,
And veils the farm-house at the garden’s end.
How to understand "Seems nowhere to alight"?
Thank you in advance!
