Two SiSters Mary Thoughts for the Day ~ January

It is a heretic that makes the fire,
Not she who burns in 't.
The Winter's Tale, 2. 3

The merry year is born
Like the bright berry from the naked thorn.
~Hartley Coleridge









The new year begins in a snow-storm of white vows.  
~George William Curtis

                               Slow as molasses in January.
