Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette:
(Saint-Sauveur-en-Puisaye, 28 January 1873 – Paris, 3 August 1954). French writer. She wrote under her surname Colette, with no first name or initials.
Those late August mornings smelt of autumn from daybreak ’till the hour when the sun-baked earth allowed the cool sea breezes to drive back the then less heavy aroma of threshed wheat, open furrows, and reeking manure.
January—the month of empty pockets!
