Ici ce sont les couleurs...

Cherry Blossom in East Vancouver














Ici ce sont les couleurs qui ont des ailes
Transportant la scène dans une autre région du ciel
Où la doubleur tremble comme un papillon sur une fleur
Un arbre de grâce déposant sur la terre une absence d'ombre
Les regards cherchent en les nôtres le secours d'une confirmation
Qu'une fin si absolue ne peut qu'être vécue éternellement
Comme un commencement

Here it is the colors that have wings
Carrying the stage off to another region of the sky
Where pain quivers like a butterfly on a flower
A tree of grace placing upon the earth an absence of shadow
Eyes seek in ours the succor of a confirmation
That such an absolute end can only be experience eternally
As a beginning

My candle burns at both ends

Edna St. Vincent Millay



















My candle burns at both ends;
it will not last the night;
but ah, my foes, and oh, my friends
- it gives a lovely light!

Edna St. Vincent MillayFebruary 22, 1892 — October 19, 1950

An Affair to Remember

What a classic!

I'll just take my ego for a walk!
Winter must be cold for those with no warm memories...
And we've already missed the spring!

We'd be fools to let happiness pass us by.
