And also that good and bad rhythm naturally assimilate to a good and bad style; and that harmony and discord in like manner follow style; for our principle is that rhythm and harmony are regulated by the words, and not the words by them.
Which raises the question: Will the ol' saying some day be changed to Winter forward, fall back? But let's not add yet another divisive issue to our national dialogue. For now, write yourself a sticky note: Daylight Saving Time 2017 begins at 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 12, and at that instant, your clocks will jump to 3 a.m. And you can say so long to Standard Time for about eight months. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the current Daylight Saving Time timetable. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 extended the period for Daylight Saving Time by four or five weeks annually, depending on the calendar.
Some states don't follow daylight-saving time. Federal law allows states to eschew changes in moving their clocks ahead as spring begins or setting them back in the fall. Q. My wife and I grew up on the East Coast, but retired to Arizona in January. We were surprised last week when one of our new neighbors said daylight-saving time doesn't apply here, so we don't have to move our clocks up by one hour when it begins. How is this possible? Doesn't every American have to follow the rule that requires us to spring forward an hour in March and fall back an hour in the fall?
