I saw the Arcadian valley, the loved wood,
Alpheus stream divine, the sighing shore,
And through the cool green glades, awake once more,
Psyche, the white-limbed goddess, still pursued,
Fleet-footed as of yore,
The noonday ringing with her frighted peals,
Down the bright sward and through the reeds she ran,
Urged by the mountain echoes, at her heels
The hot-blown cheeks and trampling feet of Pan.</i>
Litha
The Summer Solstice,
the longest day and the shortest night of the year
in the norther hemisphere.
This is when the Sun is at His highest
and begins His decline.
Traditionally this holy day is celebrated
with bonfires outdoor parties.
