Gardening Quote of the Day
"The gardener in his old brown hands
Turns over the brown earth,
As if he loves and understands
The flowers before their birth,
The fragile little childish strands
He buries in the earth.
Like pious children one by one
He sets them head by head,
And draws the clothes, when all is done,
Closely about each head,
And leaves his children to sleep on
In the one quiet bed."( -- Arthur Symons, English poet, translator, critic) Forum Photo of the DayIn reply to: Mountain Magic
