“What Power art thou,
Who from below,
Hast made me rise,
Unwillingly and slow,
From beds of everlasting snow!”
— The Cold Genius

Winter solstice! The longest night of the year is over, winter is up and awake. I hope he will get back to his bed again soon!

Bass Paul Gerimon sings “What power art thou” (the cold song) from Henry Purcell’s King Arthur:

«Tu ch’hai la bocca dolce più che il mele,
tu che il zucchero porti in mezzo il core,
non esser, gioia mia, con me crudele:
lasciati almen veder, mio bell’amore.»
