“And, like a ripe moon out of flimsy clouds,
Blossoms the shining fulness of your breast.
These curves conceal, this dear perfection shrouds
A soft, miraculous nest….”
Louis Untermeyer, “Ivory and Rose”
“Art is a harmony parallel with nature.” — Paul Cezanne
“See how the sacred old flamingoes come,
Painting with shadow all the marble steps:
Aged and wise, they seek their wonted perches
Within the temple, devious walking, made
To wander by their melancholy minds.”
~ William Butler Yeats
Have a fabulous weekend!
“The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.” — John Muir
“Autumn, the year’s last, loveliest smile.” — William Cullen Bryant
Autumn Crocus
Native Range: Turkey, Syria, Lebanon
“Besides its ornamental value, the Autumn Crocus has a long history of use in medicine, rooted in the myths and written records of ancient Egypt, India, and Greece. It is mentioned in the Ebers Papyrus, the oldest known medical text, prepared by the Egyptians around 1550 B.C. Thirty-five centuries later it is still found in modern pharmacopeias, one of only 18 plants documented as having a history of medicinal value for such a long period of time.”
“Let the subject generate its own photographs. Become a camera.” — Minor White
