"It's not courage if you're not terrified." - D. Blagdan
"There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness." - Nietzsche
"To be or not to be– that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles and, by opposing, end them.
To die, to sleep no more – and by a sleep to say we end the heartache and the thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to –‘tis a consummation devoutly to be wished.
To die, to sleep
To sleep, perchance to dream.
Ay, there's the rub, for in that sleep of death what dreams may come, when we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause."
-from Shakespeare's Hamlet
(Pretty sure he rendered this soliloquy while holding wilted daffodils.)
Constructive criticism and suggestions are always welcome. Respectfully stated differences of opinion are equally welcome. Love feeds are, of course, graciously accepted at any time.
Spammers, hate-mongers, and those who place other people in compromising or dangerous positions... comment at your peril. I have a zero-tolerance policy for such.
A beautiful picture - but what is it??
ReplyDeletePoor dead daffodil ... brrrrrrrrrrr

ReplyDeletePoor daffy. This is such a sad picture.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason it puts me in mind of an old Carol King song:
"In times of deepest darkness, I've seen him dressed in black/ Now my tapestry's unravelling, he's come to take me back."
Looks like a flower in ice, or a long legged spider! Beautiful!
