What the Future Will Bring?

(Welcoming Twenty-Ten!)


Ring out the old, ring in the new, Ring, happy bells, across the snow:

The year is going, let him go; Ring out the false, ring in the true.

--Alfred, Lord Tennyson [Ring Out, Wild Bells]--

-------------------------------------------------


For last year's words belong to last year's language.

And next year's words await another voice.

And to make an end is to make a beginning.


--T.S. Eliot [Four Quartets - Little Gidding]--

-------------------------------------------------


We will open the book. Its pages are blank.

We are going to put words on them ourselves.

The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day.


--Edith Lovejoy Pierce--
