The opening sentence of Hawthorne's "...FT,<br />The opening sentence of Hawthorne's "The May-Pole of Merry Mount," an excellent choice of literature to make a point significant to the times in which we are living:<br /><br /><i>BRIGHT WERE the days at Merry Mount, when the Maypole was the banner staff of that gay colony! They who reared it, should their banner be triumphant, were to pour sunshine over New England's rugged hills, and scatter flower seeds throughout the soil. Jollity and gloom were contending for an empire. </i><br /><br />And the ending:<br /><br /><i>And Endicott, the severest Puritan of all who laid the rock foundation of New England, lifted the wreath of roses from the ruin of the Maypole, and threw it, with his own gauntleted hand, over the heads of the Lord and Lady of the May. It was a deed of prophecy. As the moral gloom of the world overpowers all systematic gayety, even so was their home of wild mirth made desolate amid the sad forest. They returned to it no more. But as their flowery garland was wreathed of the brightest roses that had grown there, so, in the tie that united them, were intertwined all the purest and best of their early joys. They went heavenward, supporting each other along the difficult path which it was their lot to tread, and never wasted one regretful thought on the vanities of Merry Mount. </i><br /><br />I also think of Shirley Jackson's <i>The Lottery</i>.Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-28049712923015359822015-03-31T12:22:20.163-05:002015-03-31T12:22:20.163-05:00FT,
