We'll to the woods no more,
The laurels are all cut,
The bowers are bare of bay
That once the Muses wore;
The year draws in the day
And soon will evening shut:
The laurels all are cut,
We'll to the woods no more.
–A. E. Housman (1859–1936)
Lou Ferrigno (actor) was born on this day in 1951. Ed Bradley (broadcast journalist) died on this day in 2006.
