This custom is widely observed across the Multiverse (even on worlds where the Carbon Dioxide freezes in Winter) and especially on the Discworld, where the threat of stories&nbsp; and legends is real and such rites are more than just quaint old customs. Mayday is a festive occasion and many will drag themselves out of bed before dawn to watch and cheer on the dancers and the sun. Later in the day, perhaps after a nap, there will be more dancing, Morris as well as the maypole, with feasting and frolic and beer.</EM></P><P><EM>On or near the first of Ember&nbsp; there is another dance, the last of the year. There is no crowd of cheering spectators, no merriment, no music, no sound. The dancers trade their bright white beribboned costumes for black shrouds and perform in darkness and silence without bells, sticks or swords (or better, with bells of octiron&nbsp; that create a lacy counter-tinkle of silences}. This is the <STRONG>Dark Morris</STRONG>, without which winter may not arrive to complete the cycle, water the land with snow and prepare for the renewal of spring. Winter begets summer, death begets life, and a city-sized sun that travels faster than its own light needs all the help it can get.</EM></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P> Fri, 19 Apr 2019 05:03:10 GMT al**bear 2019-04-19T05:03:10Z How about we have some choons?
