What with my new planner starting in October, I'm back on my silly little bullet journaling and obsessing about proper quotes for each section. Part of that's been month-related quotes, so I was wondering if anyone had their particular favourites?
Here are some that I've been using so far:
At dawn one still October day in the long ago of the world, across the hill of Alderley, a farmer from Mobberley was riding to Macclesfield fair. – Alan Garner, The Weirdstone of Brisingamen
It is All Souls' Day: as Norfolk puts it, November again. – Hilary Mantel, Wolf Hall
Among the smoke and fog of a December afternoon / You have the scene arrange itself — as it will seem to do—
/ With 'I have saved this afternoon for you';
– T. S. Eliot, Portrait of a Lady
it’s been January for months in both directions – Kaveh Akbar, Wild Pear Tree
Through the wolf brown day, between the iron cities, they rode out of the north. It was February, month of the Lupercal, and none of them knew it. They were a kind of black cloud roaring over the landscape. Over the waste lands in the rain. – Tanith Lee, Personal Darkness
It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade. – Charles Dickens, Great Expectations
One First of April, the question had arrived from Paris in a single Latin sentence, starting off dispiritedly. “Num…?” – a particular which notoriously “expects the answer No.” Harriet, rummaging the Grammar book for “polite negatives,” replied, still more briefly, “Benigne.” – Dorothy L. Sayers, Gaudy Night
it’s April / no May / it’s May / such little things have to be established in the morning / after the big things of night
– Frank O’Hara St. Paul and All That
