Old Man Winter...
Just came across this gem written by Niebuhr to a friend, when Niebuhr came to Edinburgh to deliver the Gifford Lectures:"Even more foolish is my preoccupation with the task of trying to keep warm in Edinburgh with houses about ten degrees colder than the outside and fireplaces which warm a three-feet radius from the fire. Never knew a nation which made life so uncomfortable for itself by seemingly perverse design."
