editI Wish You All a Wonderful Winter 2024!

Thomas Campbell (1777-1844)
The Pleasures of Hope Part II, l. 115–124 (1799)

Let Winter come! let polar spirits sweep
The darkening world, and tempest-troubled deep!
Though boundless snows the withered heath deform,
And the dim sun scarce wanders through the storm,
Yet shall the smile of social love repay,
With mental light, the melancholy day!
And, when its short and sullen noon is o'er,
The ice-chained waters slumbering on the shore,
How bright the fagots in his little hall
Blaze on the hearth, and warm the pictured wall!

And, if you live in the Southern Hemisphere, then...
I Wish You a Happy Summer 2024!
