"The February sunshine steeps your boughs and tints the buds and swells the leaves within." - William C. Bryant
Eliot may indeed have been correct about April; however, February, named, if memory serves well, after Februus, a diety associated with purification, is too brief for my liking. Albeit my birth month, I like the name because it forces us as speakers to try, and fail too often we do, and get that "roo" sound in after the "b."
It is aptly named for that reason: slow down...it's post mid-winter and, though brief, it is the point at which we should take personal assessment...an inner state-of-the-union address...a time of reflection prior to Spring's surge...
This is the month for resolution...
