Now Winter Nights Enlarge

by Thomas Campion (1617)


Now winter nights enlarge
The 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 defence,
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.

Then there's me -

Chris 'Milky' Matthews Insists - 'So that's your Husband Mrs. McCain! Your Husband I Tells You!'

Chris Matthews will not be corrected! Let's Play Softball!!! Or, Snowball!



The Atlantic article linked into my post title insists that John McCain had a Bizarre day - any day that includes a howler soup on Chris Matthew's Hardball is bizarre from the get go.

Chris Matthews has always reminded me of the deaf drunk at the end of the bar with his ear on a stick - half listening to my conversation with several other boon chums and periodically eclipses our talk with his repeated assertions ( uninvited of course) that will somehow bring him into the circle of knowledge.

Matthews also reminds me of that waiter 'Milky, or Whitey or Casper from Me, Myself and Irene.
What struck me about Senator McCain, Mrs. Roberta McCain and Matthews on Hardball with the Snowy Softball yesterday was not Mrs. McCain's opinion on the the Olympics and Utah, but Chris Matthews repeated (twice)reference to the future President as Mrs. McCain's 'Husband.'

Bizarre? A tad. For Matthews - consistent. Like the Ear on a Stick talk wedger plied with too many bumps and beers, Chris Matthews fails to hear the message and raises the volume.
