	Pyrates Deck: SPRING!

Posted by: EmmyRose, 2010 Március 11 06:35 AM (GMT időzóna)

What will my Magic Aqua garden grow?

Lettuce and sunflowers
Tomatoes aglow
sweet little basil
and cilantro in a row....

lets hope.

Spring has arrived!!!!!!
And it couldn't have come
at a better time :-)

A Joyous Time To Celebrate:

SPRING: A time to wander,
grow, explore ~ yet find our way
back, somehow in this season
to the gardens in life.

(Poem #1706) Carmen XLVI

Now spring is bringing back the warmer days,
Now the rage of the equinoctial sky
Falls silent in Zephyr's pleasant breezes.
Catullus, leave behind the Phrygian fields,
And the rich land of sweltering Nicaea:
Let's fly off to Asia's glorious cities.
Now the anxious mind is wild to travel,
Now the happy feet come alive with zeal,
O dear band of comrades, fare you well,
Who set off together from our far-off home,
But different roads lead back in different ways.

-- Gaius Valerius Catullus

For those of us who have a love/hate
relationship with Latin

Iam ver egelidos refert tepores,
Iam caeli furor aequinoctialis
Iucundis Zephyri silescit aureis.
Linquantur Phrygii, Catulle, campi
Nicaeaeque ager uber aestuosae:
Ad claras Asiae volemus urbes.
Iam mens praetrepidans avet vagari,
Iam laeti studio pedes vigescunt.
O dulces comitum valete coetus,
longe quos simul a domo profectos
diversae varie viae reportant.

And SPRING could be defined as LOVE:

A Prayer in Spring

Robert Frost (1915)

Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers to-day;
And give us not to think so far away
As the uncertain harvest; keep us here
All simply in the springing of the year.

Oh, give us pleasure in the orchard white,
Like nothing else by day, like ghosts by night;
And make us happy in the happy bees,
The swarm dilating round the perfect trees.

And make us happy in the darting bird
That suddenly above the bees is heard,
The meteor that thrusts in with needle bill,
And off a blossom in mid air stands still.

For this is love and nothing else is love,
The which it is reserved for God above
To sanctify to what far ends He will,
But which it only needs that we fulfill.
