Now winter nights enlarge
This number of their hours;
And clouds their storms discharge
Upon the airy towers.
Let now the chimneys blaze
And cups o’erflow with wine,
Let well-tuned words amaze
With harmony divine.
Now yellow waxen lights
Shall wait on honey love
While youthful revels, masques, and courtly sights
Sleep’s leaden spells remove.
This time doth well dispense
With lovers’ long discourse;
Much speech hath some defense,
Though beauty no remorse.
All do not all things well:
Some measures comely tread,
Some knotted riddles tell,
Some poems smoothly read.
The summer hath his joys,
And winter his delights;
Though love and all his pleasures are but toys
They shorten tedious nights.
--Thomas Campion, 1567-1620

Wow, starting with an awesome poem and always the cutest cat photos. You are a hard act to follow Josie.
ReplyDeleteWhere do you find those massively cute cat photos?
ReplyDeleteJosie,
ReplyDeleteThanks for this. I noticed there wasn't a mention of The Americans. Doesn't it come back on January 28th?
Enid, thank you! I've added The Americans.
ReplyDeleteBillie, Sam T. Cat finds them for me.
Something something premieres...brain too full of fluff looking at THAT KITTEN!
ReplyDeleteJust read that Last Week Tonight with John Oliver will also be returning Sunday, February 8. That's going to be a full night!
ReplyDeleteDon't forget iZombie, which makes it just under the wire for Winter premieres: March 17th. It's a zombie show based on a comic book, produced by Rob Thomas, and featuring David Anders. I'm skeptical about it but it's got a lot of things going for it.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Topher and Jess! I'll add those, too.
ReplyDeleteTopher, I realized last week that I'll have to do another post for Spring premieres; there's a lot of stuff happening around March.
However, March feels really far away. :-)
