Advent Calendar Day 24


Happy Chanukah (Hanukkah)

A celebration of Light over Darkness





Notes on the Spring Holidays, III, [Hanukkah]
by Charles Reznikoff (1894 - 1976)

III
Hanukkah
In a world where each man must be of use
and each thing useful, the rebellious Jews
light not one light but eight—
not to see by but to look at.
