18th District, Kutschkermarkt: Monday's Flowers



Bright is the ring of words
When the right man rings them,
Fair the fall of songs
When the singer sings them.


Still they are carolled and said --
On wings they are carried --
After the singer is dead
And the maker buried.


Low as the singer lies
In the field of heather,
Songs of his fashion bring
The swains together.


And when the west is red
With the sunset embers,
The lover lingers and sings
And the maid remembers.

From
"Songs of Travel"
Robert Louis Stevenson

  3. Kinda love that new word, "absolitely". *chuckle*

    While I was walking through the market, in "shoot, shoot, shoot" -mode, one vendor came closer, and I asked him: "How much for taking one more picture of those lovely roses?". He answered with the sweetest smile, "You sweetened my day already!"

    Poor little baby, that has to stay home. *solly*

    I happened on that little market by chance (waiting for my daughter), and those flowers were simply irresistible.
