soft days fade away
feather-soft snow piles in drifts
melting forgotten
(I'm having some strange computer problems, so I don't know if it's my system or blogger that thinks I'm publishing this yesterday, but this is actually Saturday January 1, 2011.)

one for the new year
from William Wordsworth:
The world is too much with us; late and soon,
Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers;
Little we see in Nature that is ours;
We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!
This Sea that bares her bosom to the moon,
The winds that will be howling at all hours,
And are up-gathered now like sleeping flowers,
For this, for everything, we are out of tune;
It moves us not. -- Great God! I'd rather be
A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn;
So might I, standing on this pleasant lea,
Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;
Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea;
Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn.

And are up-gathered now like sleeping flowers,
For this, for everything, we are out of tune;

So might I, standing on this pleasant lea,
Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;

Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn.
Peace and strength in the new year.
