He Wishes For The Cloths Of Heaven

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,

Enwrought with golden and silver light,

The blue and the dim and the dark cloths

Of night and light and the half-light,I would spread the cloths under your feet:

But I, being poor, have only my dreams;

I have spread my dreams under your feet;

Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

William Butler Yeats

Anonyme a dit...: The Madame Alfred Carrière is just splendid! I found this rather charming description online while checking the spelling of the name. ;)
"The always lovely, 19th century French climbing rose, Madame Alfred Carriere is in full bloom. A regal beauty with blush-colored nodding petals that reveal her tea rose parentage, her sweet hypnotic fragrance is unforgettable yet not imposing. With an air of sublime elegance she gracefully awaits her visitors."; 6:04 p.m.
Sara a dit...: Ooh, I like that description of Madame Alfred Carriere, Lydia.
Are those dianthus about the base of the roses? They're lovely - the blue and the dim and the dark cloths...; 7:52 p.m.
