Miss McCrory : grace and ease at the cello. Babcock ' s boys lead the cheers. You should be grateful for the winter, the cold nights of snow and ice and stone ponds, days clothed in night by the fog and the rain washing the barren trees. Life takes refuge in a frozen soil. Winter is a foreboding of death, a breath of hope. The dancing perishes On the white, no longer growing green, and, minstrel dead, The singing breaks in the snow shoed villages of wishes That once cut the figures of birds on the deep bread. And over the glazed lakes skated the shapes of fishes Flying. The rite is shorn Of nightingale and centaur dead horse. The springs wither Back. Lines of age sleep on the stones till trumpeting down. Exultation lies down. Time buries the spring weather That belled and bounded with the fossil and the dew reborn. A Winter ' s Tale — Dylan Thomas (110-120) A SHINING CITY SET UPON A HILL

The gift of Sewanee is not a gift of the memory; it is a gift of growing never to be outgrown. You should be grateful.
