New Year's Day blog: 'Tis well that the old year is out

---

I've always found the poetry of John Dryden congenial.  Here's something from “The Secular Masque”:

All, all, of a piece throughout,

Thy chase had no beast in view;

Thy wars brought nothing about;

Thy lovers were all untrue.

'Tis well that the old age is out,

And time to begin a new.

Good riddance to a mostly crappy year.

Welcome, 2011.
