Ivy Picks a Bouquet

The gardens of my youth were fragrant gardens

and it is their sweetness

rather than the patterns of their furnishings

that I now most clearly recall.

~Louise Beebe Wilder~

~~~~~~

Perfumes are the feelings of flowers.

~Heinrich Heine~

"That beautiful season the Summer!

Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light;

and the landscape

Lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood."

~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow ~
