Nobody knows this little Rose --It might a pilgrim be
Did I not take it from the waysAnd lift it up to thee.
Only a Bee will miss it --Only a Butterfly,
Hastening from far journey --On its breast to lie --
Only a Bird will wonder --Only a Breeze will sigh --
Ah Little Rose -- how easyFor such as thee to die!
(Emily Dickinson)

I adore Roses...I can often be found out in the garden dusting for the darned aphids before I put the systemic poison to their dark dirty little habits! Beautiful flowers you're sharing...and I'm going to try the lovely Tomato recipe you gave me...thanks so much...

Extraordinarily beautiful roses. I don't think I ever saw this Dickinson poem before, either--I love it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful roses, beautiful poem.

Merisi,
ReplyDeleteGreat rose pics (I'm catching up on your posts, because I was on vacation)! As well as the post above -I guess many take the opportunity to take a nap in the afternoon :)
wow, these roses have spread so wide open! And very interesting to shoot so many of them from behind... cool angle! I actually currently have a (dying) rose in my room that I should try to dry out... Emily Dickinson's words are sadly true.
ReplyDeleteVery good blog!
ReplyDeleteA neighbour has a red rose bush growing in their front yard, and whenever I see it I think of the beautiful flowers you post here, Merisi.
