[agenda] BPWG 2010-10-12 Cancelled, and Sonnet 73

The transition call presaged by the minutes of the last meeting [1] has 
not taken place and won't take place before next Tuesday, so we won't 
hold a meeting next week.

Meanwhile, instead, here's Shakespeare's Sonnet 73, which I am sure he 
intended as a metaphorical allusion to the status of the BPWG.

Jo

LXXIII

That time of year thou mayst in me behold
When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
Bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.
In me thou see'st the twilight of such day
As after sunset fadeth in the west;
Which by and by black night doth take away,
Death's second self, that seals up all in rest.
In me thou see'st the glowing of such fire,
That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,
As the death-bed, whereon it must expire,
Consum'd with that which it was nourish'd by.
This thou perceiv'st, which makes thy love more strong,
To love that well, which thou must leave ere long.
