"A Masque of Days" by Charles Lamb is a whimsical and imaginative collection of prose and poetry, likely written in the early 19th century. The work centers around a fantastical dinner party hosted by the New Year, where all the Days of the year gather to celebrate and mingle. This light-hearted narrative reflects on the nature of time, the changing of years, and the character of each day, blending humor with thoughtful observations. The content unfolds as a lively banquet featuring personified days of the year, each showcasing its unique traits and characteristics. With notable attendees like Christmas Day, Ash Wednesday, and April Fool, the festivities are filled with playful interactions and humorous anecdotes. The Days engage in lighthearted banter, disputes, and festivities, all while addressing various themes related to the calendar and human experiences throughout the year. The narrative culminates in a spirited celebration that embraces both the joy and melancholy associated with the passage of time, ultimately illustrating Lamb's keen observations on life and the cyclical nature of days.
