"A Medley of Weather Lore" by M. E. S. Wright is a collection of weather-related folk sayings, proverbs, and poetry that appears to have been written in the early 20th century. This compendium offers various insights into how weather patterns were interpreted in different cultural contexts, particularly through the agricultural lens. The content ranges from monthly weather predictions based on traditional lore to poetic expressions inspired by the changing seasons. The opening
of the collection introduces the concept of weather lore by presenting various sayings and proverbs related to January and February. It provides insights into the characteristics of these winter months, such as their coldness and the signs predicting the forthcoming seasons. Wright includes verses that reflect both practical knowledge for farmers and poetic admiration for nature's cycles. Through this medley, readers are invited to appreciate both the practical wisdom embedded in these sayings and the beauty of the natural world as it shifts.
