*Ø* Blogmanac | September

A maiden born when rustling leaves
Are blowing in the September breeze,
A Sapphire on her brow should bind,
‘Twill cure diseases of the mind.

Birthstones
Chrysolite: signifying antidote to madness.
Sapphire: likewise.

This is the month of the migration of birds, of the finished harvest, of nut-gatherings, of cyder making, and towards the conclusion, of the change of colour in trees … its noblest nature is a certain festive abundance for the supply of all creation.
Leigh Hunt, English poet
