Can holidays be severed from their myths?
How bare and colorless our lives would be!
Religion need not enter into this.
In myths we find a common poetry.
So the candles celebrating light,
The angels keeping watch on Christmas Eve,
Magnify the beauty of the night,
Are golden threads whatever one believes,
Songs that bind the souls of scattered leaves.
