A Summer's Day
"A something in a summer's Day
As slow her flambeaux burn away
Which solemnizes me"
Emily Dickinson
Summer Pleasures
There is something about lunch
in tree-shaded Mochi's garden
that energizes me even
on the hottest summer day
Remember my Quest
to find a grumpy Viennese waiter?
Forget about it! After all my time
of living and wining and coffee drinking in Vienna,
I suggest this is but a bit of lore

-> Johann Nepomuk Nestroy (7 December 1801 – 25 May 1862) at Wikipedia:
"Johann Nepomuk Eduard Ambrosius Nestroy .... was a singer, actor and playwright in the popular Austrian tradition of the Biedermeier period and its immediate aftermath. Dubbed the "Austrian Shakespeare", in style he is more comparable to Molière."
I'm beginning to wonder if anyone at all could ever be grumpy in Vienna!

Lovely, as always! (We are enjoying a rare summer day with temperatures in the 70s!)
ReplyDeleteHaven't commented for a while. Good to back in Vienna albeit only virtually. The second and the fourth photo look like they could be taken in Italy or Provence.
