Quotes from Cupid's Fair-Weather Booke (John Cecil Clay)

John Cecil Clay, Cupid's Fair-Weather Booke

“ JUNE Depression in heart areas, relieved by brief storms which clear the air. A wave of tenderness over all the heart regions, followed by a general warm feeling and the glad ringing of church bells. If you are going to cultivate Matrimony this year, now is the time to begin. Flowery sentiments abound. Increasing warmth produces an atmosphere charged with restlessness in the thickly peopled heart centres. Unsettled weather and clouds, melting away in epistolary showers. ”

“ All but the hardiest plants must be given extreme attention, and many gardeners, to avoid the danger of a frost, sit up far into the night with their favorite plants during this month. But at the best it is apt to be chilly and unpleasant going. The month ends in calm, indifferent weather. ”

“ FEBRUARY Generally frigid airs, varied by storms and melting spells, with changing temperature until the Fourteenth, when a soft wave will sweep over the country accompanied by sentimental Mail Storms, resulting in a general rise of temperament and a happier atmosphere. Husbandmen who are cultivating matrimony will be much troubled through this month by the squally nights. ”

“ Enthusiasm is necessary but do not be too impetuous for many a failure has come from rushing ahead while yet conditions are too cold and many a Hope Vine has been killed by a late frost.
If you have started your work indoors do not be in too great haste to set out; young plants need a great deal of warmth and attention and can stand extremely high temperature, while very little cold is apt to be fatal. ”

“ SEPTEMBER Somewhat cooler feeling, and petulent storms more prevalent. Engaging weather becomes unsettled and breaks up. General moistness, followed by downpours, clearing up in some quarters, but generally cloudy and depressed, and the landscape will wear a gloomy and lonely appearance. ”

“ DECEMBER Brighter. Very cold for those outside, but warm on the inside, where there is a tendency to Hot Air. The cheerful sounds of Kissing Larks are heard under the mistletoe branches. Bracing weather everywhere. Excellent for skates, and good slaying for Cupid. About the 25th of the month a terrific shower of gifts and good wishes may be looked for. The month will end in violent Brain Storms.
