"The fire is as well for cheerfulness as for warmth and dryness."

Having a hearth-fire is a cheery deliciousness. It makes life feel rich. It closes us in together, warms the house, and exudes a sense of well-being. And it smells good outside too! There's nothing like the combination of wood smoke and crisp air.
I celebrate the sensuous delight of a fire crackling in the fireplace.
