"WORD FACT

German has a name for the days between Christmas and New Year's Day: zwischen den jahren.

This literally translates to 'between the years', which I think English should adopt."

"In my book The Anubis Gates, a group of time-travelers attend a lecture by Coleridge on the subject of Milton’s Areopagitica, and I made up a (somewhat lengthy) concluding paragraph of his lecture..."

whereof only the shadows

reddish dust on the pale green ice
fool's gold in the days between the years

"Each book she writes is a scathing hymn, a merciless tone poem."
