And reigns the winter's pregnant silence still;
No sign of spring, save that the catkins fill,
And willow stems grow daily red and bright.
These are days when ancients held a rite
Of expiation for the old year's ill,
And prayer to purify the new year's will."
- Helen Hunt Jackson, A Calendar of Sonnet's: February

Happy Chinese New Year!!
Professor Bohn told me that "It`s New Year in China: the year of the rat, the element wood, the celestial stem Wu, and earth branch Zi!"
I am going to take a walk now. Enjoy your day.
