Excerpt from In Garden Orchard and Spinney

With a face looking either way, January, the middle month of winter, holds Autumn with one hand and Spring with the other, a queer empty sort of month, when Nature seems to let things alone, and, between the balanced attractions of either season, to stand, in cold neutrality, aloof. The impatient Spring may hazard a week of untimely warmth, and the sparrow, ever ready to be tempted, turn him, uxorious, to domestic joys.
