A wet Good Friday and Easter day
Brings plenty of grass, but little good hay.
Leicester.
Parsley sown on Good Friday bears a heavier crop than that sown on any other day.
Parsley seed goes nine times to the Devil before coming up. It only comes up partially because the Devil takes his tithe of it.
Old country sayings.
Oh! faint, delicious, spring-tide violet,
Thin odour, like a key.
Turns noiselessly in memory's wards to let
A thought of sorrow free.
W. Story.
What affections the violet wakes!
