"The sun set, and up rose the yellow moon: The devil's in the moon for mischief; they Who call'd her , methinks, began too soon Their nomenclature; there is not a day, The longest, not the twenty-first of June, Sees half the business in a wicked way On which three single hours of moonshine smile— And then she looks so modest all the while."
Don Juan (Byron)

January 1, 1970
