Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Undertow of a Trade-Wind Surf
Brimmers to Winter! Winter wild and weird, Frost-crowned and peerless! To his jocund laugh And frolic eye, and long white ?owing beard, Let us with right good will our bumpers quaff. For why should poets paint the jovial sage So fiercely grim, and not his beauties sing? Why call him blear eyed, crabbed, curst with age, And slander thus the good old roistering king?
Not so do we behold him. Glowing hearts Welcome with joy their ancient loving friend While he ungrudgingly to them imparts Pleasures that multiply withouten end. Who brings delights to wile the evenings long? Who drives off cares that pained the summer time? Who crowns long months of toil with mirth and song, But brave old Winter in his lusty prime?
