January isn’t the only time for new beginnings. February–which this year is packed with Lunar New Year, Imbolc, Valentine’s Day, Shrove Tuesday, and the beginning of Ramadan–can also be a time of optimism, fresh starts and a new lease on life. “In February,” a light-hearted work by the Victorian poet and literary critic John Addington Symonds (1840-1893), captures the bravery and beauty of early spring. John Addington Symonds was a bisexual man and a scholar of gay history, making his work especially timely for UK Pride month.
