Goodbye Winter

[poliphilo]

A pinch and a punch on the first of the month.

I know what Eliot says about April being the cruelest month, but I've never understood it; I'd be glad for it to be April now and the lilacs growing out of the dead land.

Does he mean that April fails to live up to its promise?

I guess one can't accuse February of that. February makes no promises. It is the coldest, bleakest, muddiest, dankest month. Thank God, it is also the shortest.

And now it's March. And here comes Flora, with one hand on her hat, pushing her way against a strong, cold wind, with daffodils clasped in the crook of her arm.

Four very young Beatles- that's nice.

We have a Harry Potter calendar and the picture for March is....erm, Harry looking worried and Hagrid carrying what looks like a dead body and some mythical beastie with the body of a horse and the head and wings of an eagle; I haven't seen the movie so I don't know what the hell it all means....

Even if you HAVE seen the movie, it means whatever you want it to mean.

I'm waiting impatiently for the 'newest' book.

A good point.

I've never caught the Potter bug, but I did enjoy the first of the movies.
