Welcome, winter. Your late dawns and chilled breath make me lazy, but I love you nonetheless.

The speaker addresses winter as a familiar presence, acknowledging its physical effects—late sunrises, cold air, and the resulting sluggishness—while still expressing affection. The line captures an ambivalent, intimate relationship with a season often framed negatively: winter diminishes energy and productivity, yet offers its own quiet pleasures (slowness, stillness, permission to rest). In that sense, the quote gently resists a purely utilitarian view of time and mood, suggesting that even what makes us “lazy” can be lovable and restorative. It also exemplifies Guillemets’ hallmark style: concise, sensory, and emotionally balanced.
