Reading poetry with Amelia: 'When Icicles Hang by the Wall'

By Amelia Alexander

This is part of a series of columns by Ada student Amelia Alexander about "reading and debriefing" poetry. 

When Icicles Hang by the Wall by William Shakespeare

When icicles hang by the wall, 
And Dick the Shepherd blows his nail,
And Tom bears logs into the hall,
And milk comes frozen home in pail,
When blood is nipp’d, and ways be foul,
Then nightly sings the staring owl,
To-whoo;
To-whit, to-whoo, a merry note,
While greasy Joan doth keel the pot.

Glimpses of 2022 Merry on Main

Depot Park was abuzz with holiday spirit and family activities on December 3, when the Ada Area Chamber of Commerce and its members celebrated the annual Merry on Main festival.

At 11:00 a.m. activities kicked off with the arrival of Santa Claus and his Ada Police Department escort, accompanied by winds that made the village feel a little bit like the North Pole, minus the snow. Santa met with children in the red caboose “Pennsylvania 477779.” Ada Lions and chamber “elves” passed out some 12 dozen cookies, while photographer Ashley Stuart of Ashley Ray Photography (www.AshleyRay.com) took family photos with Santa.
