ORLANDO
(As You Like It Act 3, Scene 2)
I hate Daylight Savings! Especially in recent years, here in America, since Dubya Bush pushed for it to start before April 1st, and end after November 1st. Fer Crying Out loud.*
At the equinoxes, the sun should rise due east at six, be directly overhead at noon, and set due west at six. The Vernal Equinox especially. It somehow feels like bad luck for the sun and Earth, and Humankind to be out of sync on the equinoxes.
You know?
*I remember when it started the last Sunday in May. And ended the last weekend in October. That's the way it should be. Closer to Beltaine and Samhain -- traditional fire festivals (speaking of which: check the batteries in your smoke alarms: Though Daylight Savings is so out of balance with real time, it might serve you better just to pick two dates that are actually six months apart *grumble*)
- I pray you, what is't o'clock?
ORLANDO
- You should ask me what time o' day: there's no clock
in the forest.
