BOATS SAIL ON THE RIVERS by Christina Rossetti
And ships sail on the seas;
But clouds that sail across the sky
Are prettier far than these.
There are bridges on the rivers,
As pretty as you please;
But the bow that bridges heaven,
And overtops the trees,
And builds a road from earth to sky
Is prettier far than these.
I certainly wouldn't argue with her. I believe she suffered badly from depression and hope she found relief in the wonders of nature.
ReplyDeleteI find consolation in nature at times....the flowers, trees, birds etc. All so beautiful.
DeleteIt's a sweet little poem, but I can't say I agree with "prettier by far.." I think they're all about equal. Stone bridges, rainbow bridges; ships and clouds sailing along. They're all equally beautiful to me.
ReplyDeleteNot my words but I thought the poem rather lovely. I too find beauty in so many things, especially those that nature provides.

ReplyDelete...eye of the beholder - though I know nobody who would call a rainbow other than a thing of beauty, I am with River insomuch as beauty exists in all things equally - if we know how to see... which is pretty much what you said, but differently - and there's beauty at work! YAM xx
ps - 'rajma' simply means beans, hence the recipe is the item, as it were~! Yx
DeleteDefinitely in the eye of.....and once again, one must take time to enjoy the beauty around us.
DeleteThanks also re rajma....I thought that was it but had to ask in case. Must try the recipe as soon as we have cooler weather. xx
