"For winter's rains and ruins are over,And all the season of snows and sins;
The days dividing lover and lover,The light that loses, the night that wins;
And time remembered is grief forgotten,And frosts are slain and flowers begotten,
And in green underwood and coverBlossom by blossom the spring begins."
Quoted from
"Atalanta in Calydon"
by Algernon Charles Swinburne
(1837–1909)

@ n talo:
ReplyDeleteThis is what Google translatore makes of the poem:
"Pour les pluies d'hiver et les ruines sont plus,
Et toute la saison des neiges et des péchés;
Les jours divisant amant et amante,
La lumière qui perd, qui gagne la nuit;
Et le temps est chagrin souvenir oublié,
Et les gelées sont tués et engendré des fleurs,
Et en sous-bois vert et la couverture
Blossom à la fleur d'au printemps commence. "

Oh how I adore Tulips and the green stems are beginning to show on our own. You captured the colours brilliantly~
ReplyDeleteGorgeous tulips and a perfect pairing with Swinburne's words!
ReplyDeleteI do hope that winter's ruin is past but we're expecting temperatures in the low thirties (F) tonight and my poor little tulips have furled up tight.
This is so beautiful!!! How could I miss this post?!?
ReplyDeleteI love tulips! And your colours are so awesome :)
Kindest regards,

e-translators are hopeless, Merisi!
ReplyDeleteTrying a translation which is rough but will give the atmosphere of the poem :
"Car les pluies et les dommages de l'hiver sont finis,
Ainsi que toute la saison des neiges et des péchés;
Les jours vont séparer un amant de l'autre,
la lumière les faisant se perdre, la nuit se reconquérir;
Et la mémoire du temps devient l'oubli du chagrin,
Et dans les sous-bois et les fourrés verts,
Bouton par bouton le printemps commence."
Hope this is useful for n-talo.
