In winter I get up at night And dress by yellow candle-light. In summer quite the other way, I have to go to bed by day. I have to go to bed and see The birds still hopping on the tree, Or hear the grown-up people's feet Still going past me in the street. And does it not seem hard to you, When all the sky is clear and blue, And I should like so much to play, To have to go to bed by day? –Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–94) | Thursday, July 26, 2018 207th day of the year Autumn begins in 58 days Jeremy Piven (actor) was born on this day in 1965.
