alone in the heliosphere

                                                         Busy old fool, unruly Sun,
                                                         Why dost thou thus,
                                          Through windows, and through curtains, call on us?
                                          Must to thy motions lovers' seasons run?
                                                         Saucy pedantic wretch, go chide
                                                         Late schoolboys, and sour prentices,
                                                Go tell court-huntsmen that the king will ride,
                                                Call country ants to harvest offices,
                                          Love, all alike, no season knows, nor clime,
                                          Nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time

excpt. The Sun Rising, John Donne (1572-1631)

No kidding. It was a beautiful day -- T-shirt weather in March.

Alas, we're dully overcast down here now. How's Cambridge faring?

Two days of t-shirt, and now a light dusting of chilly, jacket loving fog. Typically Cambridge.
Fortunately, the week ahead looks to be fairly warm, if not quite what it has been. Of course the poem has nothing to do with the weather, nor was it so intended.
