The nature notes of an edwardian lady
Edith Holden
Jag ramlade in i en bok av denna dam på biblioteket. Jag skymtade den undangömd bakom massa andra böcker, den hade så fint omslag. Jag faller så lätt för vackra bilder och texter.
May
"Shear your sleep in May & shear them all away"
Sparrows
Tortoise-shell butterfly
Buttercup
Pea-cock butterfly
Clover
Moon daisies
Iris
Dragon-fly
June 17th:
Saw a Red Admiral butterfly; picked a lot of wild Strawberries; numbers of Ghosts Moths howering over the grass in the evening now.

To Violers
Welcome, maids of honour
You do bring
In the spring
And wait upon her.
She has virgins many
Fresh and fair
Yet you are
More sweet than any.
You're the maiden posies
And so graced
To be placed
´For damask roses.
Yet, though thus respected
By - and - by
Ye do lie
Poor girls neglected.
