Charlotte Bronte & Robert Louis Stevenson 
Fifty Shades of January 

Once more the year begins. The first month of the Gregorian calendar. Cold winds howl, the landscape shivers, frost, snow, ice are the many blankets for the land. Daylight is thin, it arrives late and leaves early ceding the hours to shadow and the ink of night.From the pens of our remarkable poets including Shelley, Dickenson, Shakespeare, Whitman, Gilbran and a wealth of others comes sumptuous verse that describe our moods, feelings, travels and desires of the dawning year.
