HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We’ll take a cup o kindness yet,
For auld lang syne!

Christoph may be furry, but he does not have a hairy heart.
The touch of her soft white arms, the sound of her breath in his ear, the scent of her heavy gold hair: all pierced the newly awakened heart like spears. But it had grown strange during its long exile, blind and savage in the darkness to which it had been condemned, and its appetites had grown powerful and perverse.
-”The Warlock’s Hairy Heart” from The Tales of Beedle the Bard by JK Rowling, with notes by Albus Dumbledore and translation by Hermione Granger

Surely some revelation is at hand.
…And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
