Briefer Than The Apple Blossom

 

"Apple blossoms swing and sway,
In the merry month of May.
All the fairy folks are gay,
’Tis the merry month of May.
In the trees the birdies call,
Apple blossoms softly fall,
Here the robin sweetly say
’Tis the merry month of May."

MySpot: When Every Lusty Heart Beginneth to Blossom

*Ph of me/ Dreamboy

         

"For winter's rains and ruins are over,

And all the season of snows and sins;

The days dividing lover and lover,

The light that loses, the night that wins;

And time remembered is grief forgotten,

And frosts are slain and flowers begotten,

And in green underwood and cover

Blossom by blossom the spring begins."

         

           

Algernon Charles Swinburne - Atalanta in Calydon

A Story About Narcissus

"And then my heart with pleasure fills,

And dances with the daffodils."

      

William Wordsworth

The Very Pink of Perfection

"The flowers did smile, like those upon her face;

And as their aspen stalks those fingers band,
That she might read my case,
A hyacinth I wished me in her hand."

           

William Drummond, of Hawthornden

MySpot: Shifting Toward the Blues in the Rainbow

*Ph/ Cipry

"The passion hidden beneath the careless

calm of her ordinary moods - violent spring flashing (...)

through the purple clouds; (...)

soaring up to the passionate blue..."

Is Gone in a Day...

"I'm waiting for the Easter Wabbit.

When he comes in looking so fwuffy and cute

with his wittle basket of Easter eggs...

BANG! Easter Wabbit stew.

He he he he."

Easter Yeggs (1947)

For You Only Get to Play One Round...

          

"One of the most tragic things I know about human nature

 is that all of us tend to put off living.

We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon -

instead of enjoying the roses

blooming outside our windows today."
