_Thoughts_ on **holiday**? Long, horrid drive; worth it. Great time with my friends. Niagara Falls in Drear November: deserted, Amusements empty. Tourist schlock dimmed by Drizzle on gray day; the falls Thunder on, heedless. Roaring, cascading; Foam soars skyward in great gouts. Puny man is awed. ---
