Frani – Happy Birthday

After arriving home and having lunch I thought I would send out a kind gesture to Frani – whom celebrates here birthday today. I always enjoy reading her blog. She is thoughtful as well is a well-travelled person. When I read her writes as well as here pictures I see one that is create and intelligent. From miles due north I wish you the very best on your birthday. There is something to be said of the people that one does come to know within the avenues on this web stream. I believe Victor Hugo is one of many poets that you enjoy – thus I send with good wishes on this day of yours.


THE GENESIS OF BUTTERFLIES by: Victor Hugo (1802-1885)
HE dawn is smiling on the dew that covers
The tearful roses; lo, the little lovers
That kiss the buds, and all the flutterings
In jasmine bloom, and privet, of white wings,
That go and come, and fly, and peep and hide,
With muffled music, murmured far and wide.
Ah, the Spring time, when we think of all the lays
That dreamy lovers send to dreamy mays,
Of the fond hearts within a billet bound,
Of all the soft silk paper that pens wound,
The messages of love that mortals write
Filled with intoxication of delight,
Written in April and before the May time
Shredded and flown, playthings for the wind's playtime,
We dream that all white butterflies above,
Who seek through clouds or waters souls to love,
And leave their lady mistress in despair,
To flit to flowers, as kinder and more fair,
Are but torn love-letters, that through the skies
Flutter, and float, and change to butterflies.
