NOTHING GOLD CAN STAY
Robert Frost
Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leafs a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay.
In the middle of everything is
T H E S U N.
Nicholas Copernicus (1473-1543)
Polish Astronomer
THE JOY OF THE HEART MAKES THE FACE MERRY
English Proverb
The glorious lamp of heaven,
the SUN.
Robert Herrick (1591-1674)
English Poet
If you can spend
a perfectly useless afternoon
in a perfectly useless manner,
You have learned how to live.
Lin Yutang (1895-1976)
Chinese writer and philologist
The sunset caught me, turned the brush to copper, set the clouds to one
GREAT ROOF OF FLAME ABOVE THE EARTH.
Elizabeth Coatsworth (1893-1986)
American Writer
The sun lay like a friendly arm
across her shoulder.
Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings (1869-1953)
American writer
It is always sunrise
somewhere;
the dew is never all dried at once;
a shower is forever falling;
vapor is ever rising.
Eternal sunrise, eternal sunset,
eternal dawn...
John Muir (1838-1914)
American naturalist.
If you are as enchanted with these words as I, then you will love the book SUNFLOWERS from which these lovely words came. Order it here for mere pennies. Truly,
Is there anything happier than a sunflower?
