	George Sand: Her Majorcan Winter of Discontent LiteraryTraveler.com
		Her ill-fated stay there, which later became the subject of her book Winter in Majorca, was to have deleterious and far-reaching consequences for both the novelist and her famous companion, composer Fredric Chopin.
		Most pleasing of all was my discovery that the Majorcan winter, far from being the bleak, damp affair experienced by Sand, routinely brings daytime temperatures requiring nary a sweater, along with a seemingly omnipresent sun (indeed, the island claims an average of 300 days of sunshine annually).
		"Our journey," wrote the author to her friend Carlotta Marliani, "seems to begin under the most favorable conditions." Embarking from Barcelona on November 7th, 1838, for the overnight passage aboard the "El Mallorqn" ferry, they could not have imagined they'd be making the reverse trip under dire circumstances just 98 days later.

	“Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer…”: Where is the promised mass action? - ...
		His speech outlined the right that the people of Zimbabwe have to mass action, where they are entitled to express themselves and to share their views on the way they are governed, and that “experience shows that only a sustained and concerted effort by all Zimbabweans shall deliver a desired result”.
		In summary, our experience shows us that while we managed to shake the regime with action in March 2003 and in June 2003, we did not move sufficiently to cause meaningful democratic change in our society.
		The promise that there would be a winter of discontent has often been repeated by National Executive members of the Tsvangirai faction and newspapers and web sites sympathetic to the Tsvangirai faction such as the Zimbabwean newspaper.

		After reading Of Mice and Men, The Red Pony, and The Pearl in high school, I was not an admirer of Steinbeck, but when I picked up The Winter of Our Discontent as an adult, I was awed by the author I had once shunned.
		Steinbeck's depiction of Ethan and Mary's marriage is witty, biting, and affectionate, demonstrating both his humor and his talent for dissecting domestic issues as well as the grander, social ones.
		In "The Winter of Our Discontent", Steinbeck has us step into the shoes of an individual that I would guess is of a pretty rare breed: someone whose immediate ancestors had...

	In Our Winter of Discontent, Progressive Hope Must Spring Eternal
		It will be very difficult to convince many of our fellow Americans that their short-sighted fixations on the unborn and gay marriages do not speak to their moral values nearly as loudly as their willful blindness to the countless innocents abroad that our government is murdering in their name, in a misguided war on terror.
		We must engage these former comrades-in-arms in our struggle for the common man wherever they are, and if this means that the Christians among us need to speak out to their fellow parishioners, so be it.

	Ungrateful nation? Thanksgiving and the winter of our discontent W
		After all, in order to be thankful, there must be someone to thank--otherwise our gratitude is focused on congratulating ourselves for our diligence, hard work, and effort.
		We are no longer the measure of our happiness; nor is our happiness simply in pleasing family members or friends who change from time to time and can leave us perplexed as to what really pleases them.
		Giving thanks to this one "on high" transforms our lives from cynicism, drudgery, and anxiety to a life of joy under the watchful eye of a father who provides our daily bread.

		From our geocentric viewpoint there are precise periods for each planet wherein it appears to stop, track back against the zodiac, stop again, and begin to move forward once again.
		Our life-force needs this periodic expulsion of repressed energy, and thus our more instinctual nature relishes such richness of expression, but remember, civilization of the unconscious requires effort and conscious awareness.
		This is a chilling myth to consider in the light of our nuclear age and global consciousness.

		This was to be the playful introduction to our editorial, back when the 2004 presidential election seemed to be headed in a very different direction (we still like the conceit, so we're sticking with it).
		The challenges of religious pluralism, the relationship of sexuality to religious identity, theological perspectives on popular culture—these and other themes familiar to our readers have consequential correlatives in the political discourse of mainstream American life.
		For all their learning, many of those involved in ministry and the academy find it no less difficult than the rest of us to grapple with the role of religion in public life, to communicate across faith divides, or to apply the moral imperatives of various traditions to contemporary concerns.

		Back in the good old days (up to and including six months ago), we could all comfort ourselves with the notion that electricity flouts were a summertime phenomenon that would cease to be a problem once cooler weather arrived and air conditioners no longer put a strain on power grids.
		Obviously, the companies that produce and deliver the electricity to light our homes and businesses, run our appliances, power our computers and generally keep our world running in the first decade of the 21st century, still haven't figured out a way to do so in an efficient and reliable way.
		It will be three years ago next August that much of our region experienced a major flout that resulted from a power generation breakdown in the upper Midwest, and spread because of system flaws throughout the power grid.

	Reformation Theology: "The Long Winter of Our Discontent"- Rev. Charles R. Biggs
		In other words, our constant meditation and foundation for our contentment ought to be in what we already have in Christ Jesus, and not in what we do not have.
		It is extremely difficult in our time as Christians, particularly in our consumer driven culture, to avoid the draw and lure of discontentment.
		This means that wherever our hearts are directed, in whatever and from wherever we find contentment, this is our treasure; this product or thing is our treasure and what our heart loves the most.
