“Tonight’s December thirty-first,
Something is about to burst.
The clock is crouching, dark and small,
Like a time bomb in the hall.
Hark, it's midnight, children dear.
Duck! Here comes another year!”
― Collected Verse from 1929 On

And before we know it, the deck has been played out and the decisions we have just made will shape our lives for decades to come.”
