SNOW-BOUND [The sun that brief December day]  

The sun that brief December day Rose cheerless over hills of gray, And, darkly circled, gave at noon A sadder light than waning moon. Slow tracing down the thickening sky Its mute and ominous prophecy, A portent seeming less than threat, It sank from sight before it [...]

Op-Ed – A Holiday to End All Wars – NYTimes.com

TODAY is the 90th anniversary of the armistice that ended the First World War, and it will be commemorated very differently on each side of the Atlantic and across the borders of Europe. It’s a reminder that not all “victors” experience wars in the same [...]

It is spring in the mountains. I come alone seeking you. The sound of chopping wood echoes Between the silent peaks. The [...]
