#OTD Winifred Mary Letts, English #Writer, is born.
She wrote,
"That God once loved a #Garden, we learn in Holy writ.
& seeing gardens in the #Spring, I well can credit it."
Her #WWI #Poem, "Spring the Cheat," is about WWI. In it, she compares rebirth in spring with the never-ending season of wartime loss.
"O exquisite spring, all this - & yet - & yet -
Kinder to me, the bleak face of #December
Who gives no cheating #Hopes, but says "#Remember.'"

The mild #weather at the end of #December has triggered the #spring, which seems to be set to continue from #January.
Rosemary's blooming !
La douceur de fin #décembre a enclenché le #printemps qui semble bien décidé à continuer dès #janvier.

#OTD Alexander Smith, #Scottish #Poet, is born.
He wrote,
I love [the garden] more than any place on #Earth...
to pace its Graveled #Walks,
to sit in the #Moss house,
which is warm & cozy as a #Bird's #Nest...
Its #Silence & pulses of #Fragrance...
My #Garden affects me like #Sweet #Music.
Care stops at the Gates...
Among my #Flowers & #Trees,
#Nature takes me into her own hands...
How deeply seated in the #Human #Heart is the liking for #Gardens & #Gardening!

My #Study... looks down on #Dreamthorp like a #Meditative #Eye.
[I have] an #OldFashioned #Rambling #Garden, with:
#Grassy plots & #Fantastically-clipped #Yews, which have gathered #Darkness from a #Hundred #Summers & #Winters;
#Sundials, on which the #Sun is constantly telling his #Age;
And #Statues, #Green with #Neglect & #Stains from the #Weather.

#OTD Rudyard #Kipling, #English #Writer & #Poet, is born.
Here's a Garden Excerpt from #RikkiTikkiTavi:
"Rikki-tikki had a right to be proud of himself.
But he did not grow too #Proud.
And he kept that #Garden as a #Mongoose should keep it,
w/ #Tooth
& #Jump
& #Spring
& #Bite,
till never a #Cobra dared show its head inside the walls."

#OTD Rudyard #Kipling, #English #Writer & #Poet, is born.
In 1902, he purchased land called #Batemans in #EastSussex.
After winning the #NobelPrize for #Literature, he spent his #Prize money on his #Garden w/ a #SecretDoor & #Sundial inscribed:
"It's #Later than you think."
Rudy kept a little boat in his #Pond for his kids; #Friends had some adventures there, too.
After some names in the family #Guestbook, Rudyard added the letters F.I.P. for Fell in Pool. 💦😂

#OTD Birth of Stephen #Leacock, #Canadian #Writer & #Humorist, is born.
He wrote,
"All the #Books [say] #Soil is the most important part of #Gardening.
But, if a man [already has] his own #Backyard before he opens the #Book, what remedy is there?
All the books stress the need for "deep, friable #Loam - full of nitrogen."
This I have never seen.
My own land [contains] nothing but #Earth. I could see no trace of #Nitrogen.
In all humility... I don't know what loam is."
