annus mirabilis

A annus mirabilis first marked this year,
though London could have been the sum of your fear;
Sir Issac Newton indeed found quite the find,
bending light with a theory that could bend your mind!

Quatrain2:2006
The year of Mozart and of fools,
who knows what more could come before Yule;
yet we’ve seen so much toil and terror,
calling it an annus mirabilis would be an error.
