Quote of the Day (Alfred Lord Tennyson, on the ‘Threshold of the Year To Come’)

“Friends,

I am only merry for an hour or two

Upon a birthday: if this life of ours

Be a good glad thing, why should we make us merry

Because a year of it is gone? but Hope

Smiles from the threshold of the year to come

Whispering 'It will be happier.'” — Alfred Lord Tennyson, The Foresters, Robin Hood and Maid Marian (1892)

A day in 2014 is already gone, but these verses were too good not to use. Happy New Year, again, friends!
