as people are born and die,
where they are coming from and where they are going.

Nor why,
being so ephemeral in this world,
they take such pains to make their houses pleasing to the eye.

ReplyDeleteNu stiu de ce ,dar cel mai mult aseman viata omului cu un mac.Macii sunt frumosi,atrag privirile,desi frumusetea lor dureaza atat de putin.Petalele colorate si usor sifonate par fericite in adierea vantului.
ReplyDeleteasa cum sunt ,atrag priviri si incanta suflete.
Cu mult drag de aici de unde macii inca abia si-au aranjat frunzele.
I shiver every time I read your posts.

野の花は無心に空を、太陽を仰ぎみていますが、それが信仰の姿勢なんでしょうか。素晴らしいポピーの丘、与謝野晶子氏の「皐月仏蘭西の野は火の色す君もコクリコわれもコクリコ」を思いました。
