Father's Day, 21 June 2020

"There is something in't.
More than my father's skill, which was the greatest."
- All's Well That Ends Well: A1, S3.

On the matter of the official beginning of summer yesterday, 20 June 2020, any calendar day was just another work day in Arabia for T.E. Lawrence of yore.

"Here flew a head, dissever'd from the trunk,
There mangled arms and legs were tossed aloft,
As when a whirl wind takes the summer dust."
-Edward III, A3, S1.

First Day of Summer, 2020, Northern Hemisphere

"Like the fair sun, when in his fresh array
He cheers the morn, and all the earth relieveth;
  And as the bright sun glorifies the sky,
  So is her face illumin'd with her eye."

- Venus & Adonis

Then, if ever, come perfect days.”
