“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!
