In Honor of the Winter Sostice

Dimmest and brightest month am I;
My short days end, my lengthening days begin;
What matters more or less Sun in the sky,
When all is Sun within?

–C. G. Rossetti (1830–94)

The solstice arrives today at 6:38 PM. Oh hurray for the shortest day and onwards to more sunlight each and every day thereafter!
