Quote of the Day (Ian Frazier, on Christmas and the ‘Grand Transcendence’)

“A grand transcendence drawing near

Reminds us to Love One Another:

Everybody’s (gulp) our brother

And sister, too—a saying true,

Though easier to say than do.

Look to the star, keep spirits high.

Good times are coming by and by.”— Ian Frazier, “Greetings, Friends!”, The New Yorker, Dec. 19 and 26 issue
