It's only me

A Cassandre

Mignonne, allons voir si la rose
Qui ce matin avoit desclose
Sa robe de pourpre au Soleil,
A point perdu ceste vesprée
Les plis de sa robe pourprée,
Et son teint au vostre pareil.

Las ! voyez comme en peu d'espace,
Mignonne, elle a dessus la place
Las ! las ses beautez laissé cheoir !
Ô vrayment marastre Nature,
Puis qu'une telle fleur ne dure
Que du matin jusques au soir !

Donc, si vous me croyez, mignonne,
Tandis que vostre âge fleuronne
En sa plus verte nouveauté,
Cueillez, cueillez vostre jeunesse :
Comme à ceste fleur la vieillesse
Fera ternir vostre beauté.

Una spugna per cancellare il passato/ una rosa per addolcire il presente/ un bacio per salutare il futuro.. These words are not mine. But your so beautiful image let me remind them. Sorry I don't remember the name of the author. But the only thing that I know now it's the so deep artistic and emotional impact i received. GRAZIE JOSE!

Thank you very much Beatrice for your lovely words. It doesn't matter who said them first but it does matter to me that you reminded them when you saw the small flower.
It takes one to understand the beauty of the other.
I am indebted to you and hope not to forget those three lines.
