In the meadow the Crocus are being joined by the delicate flowers of Narcissus 'Elka' (daffodil). This small cultivar has upright flowering stems, often more than 1 per bulb, and they appear early in the season but are weather-resistant.

Max Ernst - Silence Through the Ages, 1968.

“Although the evening is cold and starless And the rain is raging, I’m still singing my song during this period, Don’t know who’s listening. Though the world is drowned in war and fear, At some point Burning secretly, if no one sees them, The love continues.”

Hermann Hesse

Bouquet in a Green Vase - Jane Freilicher , 1978.

American , 1924 - 2014

and then you think, very quietly: actually. actually. I think I want a coffee. a nap. a sandwich. a book.

and I want to die turns day by day into I want to go home, I want to walk in the woods, I want to see my friend, I want to sit in the sun

I want a cleaner kitchen

I want a better job

I want to live somewhere else
