There the woods of spring are a-bloom,
There the bee of the heart is deeply
immersed, and desires no other joy.

If you need a moment of calm in your timeline, pause with me awhile in the gardens of the Imperial Palace in Kyoto. May your day be peaceful, my friends. 🌳

When my love comes and sits by my side, when my body trembles and my eyelids droop, the night darkens, the wind blows out the lamp, and the clouds draw veils over the stars.
It is the jewel at my own breast that shines and gives light. I know not how to hide it.

Rabindranath Tagore

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all

Adopt the pace of nature:
her secret is patience. 🌲🌊
— Ralph Waldo Emerson

Taking a lesson from the Severn
River on yesterday's walk.
Sometimes the best way to get
through the week is to slow
down and just watch the water.

The living walk among us.
I've heard the wistful sigh breathed past transparent thought,
Heard floorboards creak in dimly cornered rooms, and,
Sometimes, wrapped within my musings, felt
A waft from some unseen someone who just brushed by.

I walked adown the singing stream,
The lilies slept on either side;
My heart- it could not help but dream
At eve, and after eventide.

...the roses growing wild
About her features when she smiled
Were dewed with tears that fell
With tenderness ineffable

It wasn't until the mid 1920s that Augustus John began painting flowers as an alternative to portraiture; 'Cyclamen,' (1928) would have been grown in the greenhouse at Fryern Court, John's home on the edge of the New Forest.

For the world is full of roses, and the roses full of dew
And the dew is full of heavenly love

'Mountains, Connemara,' shows Paul Henry at the height of his powers in the early-mid 1930s, a time when his domestic circumstances, which always reflected directly on his work, had become settled after the breakdown of his marriage; as his mood brightened, so did his work.

With spices, wine, and silken stuffs,
The stout ship sailed down,
And with the ship the singer came
Unto the old sea town.
