After a rather lengthy absence from blogging,
I am trying to get back to posting daily, starting today.
A big incentive was the March theme day - "Green" - over at CITY Merisihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16781937797213521146noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10964852.post-84171518338980668942019-01-27T10:28:00.001+01:002019-01-27T10:28:11.896+01:00On the 263th Anniversary of theBirth of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
was born on the 27th of January in 1756.
Today marks the 258th anniversary of his birth.
The following are my thoughts and images
from a visit in 2009 to his memorial
at St. Marx cemetery.
A wreath of roses and spring flowers
had been laid at the foot
of the grave stone marker,
and a white candle was burning nearby.
It has been snowing in Vienna, all week.

"The year
that is drawing towards its close,
has been filled with the blessings
of fruitful fields and healthful skies.
To these bounties,
which are so constantly enjoyed
that we are prone to forget
the source from which they come,
others have been added,
which are of so extraordinary a nature,
that they cannot fail
to penetrate and soften even the heart
which is habitually insensible

Schönbrunn's Gloriette
Standing high on the hill behind Schönbrunn Palace,
the Gloriette with its large high-ceilinged center hall
and arcaded wings, this graceful folly in all
its splendid non-usefulness, is in my opinion
one of the most romantic places in all of Vienna.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Thou comest, Autumn, heralded by the rain,
With banners, by great gales incessant fanned,
Brighter than brightest silks of Samarcand,
And stately oxen harnessed to thy wain!
Thou standest, like imperial Charlemagne,
Upon thy bridge of gold; thy royal hand
Outstretched with benedictions o'er the land,
Blessing the farms through all thy Merisihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16781937797213521146noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10964852.post-88096043983230255102018-09-20T13:20:00.000+02:002018-09-20T13:23:13.142+02:00Summer's LeaseHath All Too Short a Date
