Tristan and Iseult

"Fold your arms round me close and strain me so that our hearts may break and our souls go free at last. Take me to that happy place of which you told me long ago. The fields whence none return, but where great singers sing their song forever."
Joseph Bedier, The Romance of Tristan and Iseult

Lily of the Valley

It happened  long time ago in a country that never existed. A happy country whose only inhabitants were gods of all sorts.  Filled with  insatiable longing for beauty,  the almighty gods  resolved  to create a flower, a perfect flower, far more beautiful than all the flowers  thriving in the endless and colourful meadows of the country.  Surprisingly, the  realisation of the dream appeared  to be impossible, as  the divine  designers could not work out the shape for that perfect flower. All  suggested forms fell short of their expectations. They were all too inferior.  The initial enthusiasm slowly morphed into doubt and then despair, which had never been  favourite  emotions among gods. Suddenly, one of them cried that he had seen an ideal shape they might copy.  It was...

Blue and Yellow

There is a time of the year when it seems that fragments of the sky are scattered on the ground and they appear to be bluer than the bluest heavens. It's squill woken up by a spring sun rays, opening  its bijou but unbelievably cobalt flowers.
In chorus,  the air above the fields begins to fill with honey-like smell and the eyes do not have enough of the golden yellow catkins, the culprit of that commotion. Unnoticeable until yesterday, now goat willow is becoming fluffier and fluffier with every hour.
Blue squill like peace, yellow catkins like ripen cereal. A beautiful couple.

Just Before Very Important Resolutions

Do not go to the garden of flowers!
O Friend! go not there;
In your body is the garden of flowers.
Take your seat on the thousand petals of the lotus, and there
gaze on the Infinite Beauty.

Why?

10/6/2013

A helpless question. First frost bites are merciless and do not leave room for any hope. When you see your beloved dahlias without life,  anger is  usually the instant reaction although we were prepared for such an unsightly sight. Suddenly, the perspective of long dreary winter months becomes almost tangible. On the other hand, the idea of perpetual repetition of life-cycles seems incredible, hence childish indignation. But poor dahlias can help here. Their tuberous roots need to be dug up and this very  physical activity forces us to concentrate on more down -to -earth thoughts and actions. I am positive that not only dahlias can give us a helping hand and save a lot of energy we might squander on depressing divagations like...the idea of passing.  I know, I know, it is all unavoidable. OK, I understand, but  before I accept it, I want to deceive myself and  enjoy the last happy moments when the world looked definitely more colourful, however vulnerable. Just before the unwelcome thrusts of  inevitable and ruthlessly cold nights. Why not accompany me?

"Three Dreams"

I
I think, I dreamed of falling leaves,
Of dark forests and dark lakes,
Of sad words' echo -
However, I could not understand their meaning.

I think, I dreamed of falling stars,
Of the weeping entreaty of pale eyes,
Of a smile's echo -
However, I could not understand its meaning.
Like falling leaves, like falling stars,
So I saw myself eternally coming and going, 
A dream's immortal echo - 
However, I could not understand its meaning.
                                                                                           Georg Trakl
