Ars Est Celare Artem

No sun - no moon!
No morn - no noon
No dawn - no dusk - no proper time of day
No sky - no earthly view
No distance looking blue
No road - no street - no "t'other side the way"
No end to any row
No indications where the crescents go
No top to any steeple
No recognitions of familiar people
No courtesies for showing 'em
No knowing 'em!
No travelling at all - no locomotion
No inkling of the way - no notion
No go - by land or ocean
No mail - no post
No news from any foreign coast
No park - no ring - no afternoon gentility
No company - no nobility
No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease
No comfortable feel in any member
No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees,
No fruits, no flow'rs, no leaves, no birds,
November!

Thomas Hood, 1842

"But, what about your own magnum opuses?" [opii?], I pretend to hear you ask. "Will they be appearing here?"

Maybes aye; maybes naw.
