Things of Beauty




A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
Its loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.


From:
"Endymion" by John Keats












Beauties on a rainy evening,
found close to each other:
The first one in a waste basket on a side street between
St. Stephen's Cathedral und St. Peter's Church,
the next four at "Zum Schwarzen Kameel",
whose kitchen windows open to Naglergasse,
opposite "Martha Srna Modlitby",
where I found the tulips and the painting of a postman holding a love letter.

  3. My Marrakech:
    Everywhere I went on that evening, I encountered tulips. Therefore, more images in store for you in future posts. ;-)
    Simon:
    Have you ever seen the movie "Les Parapluies de Cherbourg"? Ever since I have, I see umbrellas in a different light.
