It's been a long Winter. The temperature is still hovering in the twenties, going down to the teens at night. Each year the first of my wife's flowers to appear are the snowdrops. Here they are, climbing into the light, about two to three weeks later than usual. Like I said..., it's been a long Winter.
To clarify: the title is excerpted from Act 1 of Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost. The full quote goes: "Light, seeking light, doth light of light beguile; So ere you find where light in darkness lies, Your light grows dark by losing of your eyes." It's a warning against spending too much of your life in scholarly pursuits.
