In these miserable cold November days I wish that summer was here, and in doing so I try not to wish my life away. The November sun in London, when we can see it, is cold and appears bright because it is low on the horizon and shines directly into your eyes. The high summer sum reflects brightness but is kinder than the sun we see in November.
The weather reflects our economic mood. Things seem dismal and are difficult; even when the sun shines it shines wrongly blinding us instead of illuminating our world.
I think of the places where I have been which have the brightest sun; the sun in Greece is brightest, strongest, and even somehow stronger than the sun of Arabia or the sun of the Mexican coast. This year which I have spent in Britain, mostly, has been a year in which the sun did not shine very often. The land is sodden with rain. The land will recover when the sun returns.
