Walk in my garden

The end of the world and the bottom of the garden contain the same amount of wonders. Quote from Christian Bobin, French writer and poet, 1951-

The butterfly

To be born with the spring, to die with the roses, On the wing of the zephyr swim in a pure sky, Swung on the bosom of the hardly bloomed flowers, To be intoxicated with perfumes, of light and of azure, Shaking, still young, the powder of its wings, To fly away like a breath to the eternal vaults, Here is of the butterfly the enchanted destiny! It looks like desire, which never arises, And without being satisfied, touching everything, Finally returns to heaven to seek pleasure! Alphonse de Lamartine. Poem The Butterfly
