From "A Nocturnal upon St. Lucy's Day" (Dec. 13), by John Donne
[poem here]
". . . Since she enjoys her long night's festival,
Let me prepare towards her, and let me call
This hour her vigil, and her eve, since this
Both the year's, and the day's deep midnight is."
This and an earlier toy photograph (featuring a bear) were inspired by Francesco del Cossa's "Saint Lucy", BELOW, c. 1473/1474
