Evening, Wisdom and Beauty



Poor, dear, silly Spring, preparing her annual surprise!"
- Wallace Stevens



Every spring is the only spring - a perpetual astonishment."
- Ellis Peters



The easiest kind of relationship for me is with 10,000 people. The hardest is with one.
- Joan Baez



Organized spectators
heads covered
in the approved
British Milliner's style
like
green box hats
and stuff;
crowding together,
standing in heels
feet together,
hands clasped in front
of their
top coats.

The mild breeze
swishing leaves
this way and that,
as the necks
move in Unision
watching,
not a tennis ball,
but
free birds
and squirrels
an occasional
kid with a frisbee....

All
watching
on a great summer day,
the
Wimbledon of life.....

The best contraceptive for old people is nudity.
- Phyllis Diller



Make yourself necessary to somebody.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson



Let the rain kiss you.
Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops.
Let the rain sing you a lullaby.
The rain makes still pools on the sidewalk.
The rain makes running pools in the gutter.
The rain plays a little song on our roof at night--
And I love the rain."
- Langston Hughes,

  1. Lovely scenery and skies. The flower shots are gorgeous - that rose looks like tissue - so soft.

    Happy weekend Sylvia, Ev

  3. The fourth picture. (I have seen this one earlier and it always conveys to me a very "proper" audience standing behind ropes at a distance , like they show when they have state visits at the White house, or when they show those noble folks at Wimbledon, in hats and coats, enjoying the game...)

  7. I was so pleased with the daisies, I thought the Wimbeldon-of-life poem fun, I burst out laughing at Ms. Diller's quote, and I was in awe of the coastal sunset photo. What a wonderful treat!
