"The Shortest Day" is and has always been my favorite solstice poem.

Happy solstice!

Oh, wow, what a gorgeous poem. Susan Cooper, YOU ROCK.

Happy Solstice! ♥

I had no idea Susan Cooper wrote that, despite hearing it every year.

Happy solstice. Where I am, it is certainly very dark! I could have candles in my window, but instead I have sheep. :)

I've heard it and Fra Giovanni's letter in concert so many times, they begin to morph together in my head.

Ahh I missed the Revels this year but just readng this made me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

Yes! It's not Christmas without hearing their recording of this (the Patrick English one, accept on substitutes).

*no substitutes. Me type English good, 'cause I are a college student.
