Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος

"In winter I get up at night
 And dress by yellow candle-light.
 In summer, quite the other way,
 I have to go to bed by day.
 
 I have to go to bed and see
 The birds still hopping on the tree,
 Or hear the grown-up people's feet
 Still going past me in the street.
 
 And does it not seem hard to you,
 When all the sky is clear and blue,
 And I should like so much to play,
 To have to go to bed by day?"
  -- Robert Louis Stevenson (b. 1850-11-13, d. 1894-12-03), "Bed in Summer" (published in A Child's Garden of Verses, 1885)

[A happy Summer Solstice, Midummer Day, or St. John's Day to all who mark it, either in celebration or merely interest! The moment of the solstice is 6:07 AM, EDT.]
