The Summer is entirely given over to the Summer Girl’s flirtations.
In the Autumn a delicious Melancholy is in the air and Arcadians experience
A feeling of sadness and longing
That is not akin to wo;
And resembles sorrow only
As a Poet resembles a Poe.
In Winter come the Halcyon Days, and all are glad and merry and Life is one grand, sweet song and dance.
Many Fête Days are observed.
Christmas receives due consideration, but St. Valentine’s Day and All Hallowe’en are even more widely celebrated in Arcady.
April First, or All Fools’ Day, is not specially observed, except in Fool’s Paradise, where it is April Fools’ Day all the year round.
