"Their Candles are All Out"
“…There’s husbandry in heaven;
Their candles are all out...”
-Macbeth II.i.6-7
Good folk will tend to see the good in all -
When Banquo was aware of the starless night
He saw in that not a lack of light
But rather the careful conservation of light
And so we see this night, this rainy night
Not as a time of cold and darkness and damp
But an occasion for hearth-gathering the family
For cards, chess, read-alouds, blankies, warmth, peace
Good folk will tend to see the good in all
And good must then on all of us befall
