spring in one of Prague's gardens
_________
Lines written in early spring
I heard a thousand blended notes,
While in grove I sate reclined,
In that sweet mood when pleasant thoughts
Bring sad thoughts to the mind.
To her fair works did Nature link
The human soul that through me ran;
And much it grieved me my heart to think
What man has made of man.
Through primrose-tufts, in that sweet bower,
The periwinkle trailed its wreaths;
And 'tis my faith that every flower
Enjoys the air it breathes.
The birds around me hopped and played:
Their thoughts I cannot measure:--
But the least motion which they made,
It seemed a thrill of pleasure.
The budding twigs spread out their fan,
To catch the breezy air;
And I must think, do all I can,
That there was pleasure there.
If I these thoughts may not prevent,
If such be of my creed the plan,
Have I not reason to lament
What man has made of man?
William Wordsworth, 1798

Sua visão é sempre única e nos faz olhar de um outro jeito.
É como estar de olhos fechados e subitamente abrí-los.
Gosto demais desta imagem.
um abraço grande.
