◦January means so many things to so many people.
“If I had my way, I’d remove January from the calendar altogether and have an extra July instead”.
Roald Dahl
“Married when the year is new, he will be loving, kind and true… Married in January’s roar and rime, widowed you’ll be before your prime.”
New Zealand proverb.
January is here, with eyes that keenly glow, a frost-mailed warrior striding a shadowy steed of snow.”
Edgar Fawcett
