Winter’s Tale
The title is that of a novel by Mark Helprin.
On this date in 1903, the Williamsburg Bridge between Brooklyn and Manhattan was opened to traffic.
From the opening of Helprin’s 1983 novel:
“The horse…. trotted alone over the carriage road of the Williamsburg Bridge, before the light, while the toll keeper was sleeping by his stove and many stars were still blazing above the city.”

then the devil is six
And if the the devil is six
Then God is seven
then God is seven
then God is seven
This monkey’s gone to heaven”
