  The Ancient One says

  I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day
  
  I heard the bells on Christmas day
  Their old familiar carols play,
  And wild and sweet the words repeat
  Of peace on earth, good will to men.
  
  I thought how, as the day had come,
  The belfries of all Christendom
  Had rolled along th'unbroken song
  Of peace on earth, good will to men.
  
  And in despair I bowed my head:
  'There is no peace on earth, ' I said
  'For hate is strong, and mocks the song
  Of peace on earth, good will to men.'
  
  Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
  'God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;
  The wrong shall fail, the right prevail,
  With peace on earth, good will to men.'
  
  Till, ringing, singing on its way,
  The world revolved from night to day
  A voice, a chime, a chant sublime,
  Of peace on earth, good will to men.
  
  Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

  It's been a long time since I read "the bell jar", how did it leave you feeling/thinking?
