One snowy day Tesla was playing
On the mountain with his friends.
One of the snowballs
They were throwing in their game
Formed, by rolling,
An enormous
Mass of snow, and then an avalanche
That terrifyingly rolled
Down the slope, destroying everything in its path.
The boys were frightened,
And this event left
A deep mark on him which
Later in life strongly
Influenced his thinking.
It convinced him that in
Nature there exist immeasurable
Stored forces that can be
Released on incredible
Scales and used for human
Needs.
