Excerpt from The Changing YearIN January the sun and the heavens in which he runs are already preparing for spring. The earth may still be lapped in hard frost and chilling rains, but no foulness of the weather can destroy January's great gain, the longer light. The sun mounts higher above the mists of the horizon his shadows grow daily Shorter and steeper, recovering from their lank prostration behind every grass-tuft in the December fields. With longer daylight come more active evaporation and swifter dispersal of the, damps. There is a freer movement of the air, owing to the changes of temperature produced by the sun in his course. The dead stillness of mid Winter recurs more seldom, and in overcast but rainless weather the roads and walls seem to dry more freely of themselves, and lose that peculiar sliminess which is the deposit of damp and stagnant winter air.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
