Despite a cold snap that really is Cold, I only have to look around the
world, as to where you are Roger, or California where some of us
reside, or, of course, the tsunami countries, to feel rather lucky at
the moment.
It seems you made it through, though, & at least it's daylight now, not
rain?
Hope you get them replaced right quick.

The poet is ecstatic, having dreamt of this visit for weeks.
He takes Erato’s face, dribbling and wild, between his hands
and kisses her gently as if she were a runaway teenager.
