47. The other saints in this porch are all in like manner provincial, and, as it were, personal friends of the Amienois; and under them, the quatrefoils represent the pleasant order of the guarded and hallowed year--the zodiacal signs above, and labours of the months below; little differing from the constant representations of them--except in the May: see below. The Libra also is a little unusual in the female figure holding the scales; the lion especially good-tempered--and the 'reaping' one of the most beautiful figures in the whole series of sculptures; several of the others peculiarly refined and far-wrought. In Mr. Kaltenbacher's photographs, as I have arranged them, the bas-reliefs may be studied nearly as well as in the porch itself. Their order is as follows, beginning with December, in the left-hand inner corner of the porch:-- 41. DECEMBER.--Killing and scalding swine. Above, Capricorn with quickly diminishing tail; I cannot make out the accessories. 42. JANUARY.--Twin-headed, obsequiously served. Aquarius feebler than most of the series. 43. FEBRUARY.--Very fine; warming his feet and putting coals on fire. Fish above, elaborate but uninteresting. 44. MARCH.--At work in vine-furrows. Aries careful, but rather stupid. 45. APRIL.--Feeding his hawk--very pretty. Taurus above with charming leaves to eat. 46. MAY.--Very singularly, a middle-aged man sitting under the trees to hear the birds sing; and Gemini above, a bridegroom and bride. This quatrefoil joins the interior angle ones of Zephaniah. 52. JUNE.--Opposite, joining the interior angle ones of Haggai. Mowing. Note the lovely flowers sculptured all through the grass. Cancer above, with his shell superbly modelled. 51. JULY.--Reaping. Extremely beautiful. The smiling lion completes the evidence that all the seasons and signs are regarded as alike blessing and providentially kind. 50. AUGUST.--Threshing. Virgo above, holding a flower, her drapery very modern and confused for thirteenth-century work. 49. SEPTEMBER.--I am not sure of his action, whether pruning, or in some way gathering fruit from the full-leaved tree. Libra above; charming. [Illustration: ST. MARY.] 48. OCTOBER.--Treading grapes. Scorpio, a very traditional and gentle form--forked in the tail indeed, but stingless. 47. NOVEMBER.--Sowing, with Sagittarius, half concealed when this photograph was taken by the beautiful arrangements always now going on for some job or other in French cathedrals:--they never can let them alone for ten minutes.
