Entry 145

The merry year is born
Like the bright berry from the naked thorn.
Hartley Coleridge


New Year's Eve, where auld acquaintance be forgot. Unless, of course, those tests come back positive.
Jay Leno

Why won't they let a year die without bringing in a new one on the instant, can't they use birth control on time? I want an interregnum. The stupid years patter on with unrelenting feet, never stopping - rising to little monotonous peaks in our imaginations at festivals like New Year's and Easter and Christmas - But, goodness, why need they do it?
John Dos Passos
