Exegesis of Matthew 2:1-12
Sufjan Stevens
All the King's Horns
Songs for Christmas
One mother rises
Pulling the sheets from the crib
All the disguises
Wandering stars, what she did
All the king's horns, all the king's horns
Saddled and worn
Raise the dead
Holy and infant
He came to raise up the dead
Wandering wisemen
What did you bring to his bed?
Shapeless surprises
Incense to bring to the dead
Nothing is wrong, it's what she did
All the kings horn's and king's men
Nothing is wrong, it's what she did
All the king's horns and king's men
Nothing is wrong, it's what she did
All the king's horns raise the dead
Nothing is wrong, it's what she did
All the king's horns

On the Typological (and therefore deeply Existential) Significance of the Winter Solstice
Well, that's at least the title of an essay I'm tempted to write, inspired by the concluding tracks of _Songs for Christmas_ by Sufjan Stevens (the movement from "Jupiter Winter" to "Winter Solstice" is amazing). If you're like me and, despite your past interest in and attention to science, you get confused every year about just how this stuff works, then you might find this overview of the solstice helpful. Of course, explicit discourse would kill the effect, so an essay would be a miserably bad idea. Instead, just go buy this music.
