Southern Corners 33 - Bellagio, Lake Como

 .

When everything will be over, the desire to explore just restarts.

All these wonderful impressions show you the beauty of Bellagio, Lake Como, Italy - with the beautiful Villa Melzi and its breathtaking Park.
What is the special about Lake Como? The historic villas and their lush gardens, the beauty of the territory, its charming and elegant towns, the surrounding nature that allows you to take relaxing walks.

New York City Feelings, 11 - Springtime

 .

Spring in New York City ( -> for more of my NYC posts,) is a very special thing. The air is full of promises, possibilities, spring flower scent, and the joy of life. The window reflections are even brighter, the Hudson River more blue and one believes that life is truly wonderful at this moment. 

"This morning I wake to the blue-white light of an approaching spring in New York: the kind of light that promises it will not be this cold forever."

Celler Schloss im Frühling und Friedrich Schiller

 .

 

Spring at Celle Castle Park - Frühling im Celler Schlosspark 

Komm herab, du schöne Holde,

Und verlaß dein stolzes Schloß!

Blumen, die der Lenz geboren,

Streu ich dir in deinen Schoß.

Horch, der Hain erschallt von Liedern,

Und die Quelle rieselt klar!

Raum ist in der kleinsten Hütte

Für ein glücklich liebend Paar.

Friedrich von Schiller, 1759 - 1805

Frohe Ostertage, Ihr Lieben!

My North - if people

 .

"If people did not love one another, I really don't see
what use there would be in having any spring."

A dreamer

.

A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight,

and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.

Oscar Wilde

Winzig sind sie, die ersten Anzeichen des nahenden Frühlings und doch fallen die frischen Farbkleckse im braunen Vorjahreslaub deutlich ins Auge. Wie ich diese Jahreszeit liebe, sie ist ein Symbol der Hoffnung und Erneuerung. Und wenn am Himmel die ersten Kraniche, Wildgänse und Schwäne zurückkehren stehe ich immer da und lausche mit unbändiger Freude im Herzen. 

__

They are tiny, the first signs of the approaching spring but yet the fresh splashes of color in the brown leaves of the previous year are clearly eye-catching. How I love this time of year, it is a symbol of hope and renewal. And when the first cranes, wild geese, and swans return in the sky, I always stand there and listen with unbridled joy in my heart.

Der Monat der Gärtner

 ,

Der April ist der rechte und gesegnete Monat des Gärtners. Die Verliebten sollen uns ungeschoren lassen mit ihrem vielgepriesenen Mai; im Mai blühen die Bäume und Blumen nur, aber im April schlagen sie aus; glaubt mir, dieses Keimen und Ausschlagen, diese Knospen, Knösplein und Keimlinge sind die größten Wunder der Natur.

Karel Čapek, 1890 - 1938

So geht es mir auch, Jahr für Jahr überkommt mich im April die gleiche Begeisterung bei den Gartenrundgängen in diesem Frühlingsmonat und besonders in dieser anstrengenden und belastenden Zeit ist es mir eine riesige Freude, das Erwachen der Natur in den kleinen ersten Anzeichen von Wachstum zu bestaunen und als tiefes Glücksgefühl zu empfinden. 

_______________

April is the right and most blessed month for the gardener. The lovers should leave us alone with their much-touted May; in May the trees and flowers only bloom, but in April they sprout; Believe me, this sprouting and sprouting, these buds, knobs and seedlings are the greatest miracles of nature.

Karel Čapek, 1890-1938

The same thing happens to me, year after year in April the same enthusiasm comes over me on the garden tours in this spring month and especially in this stressful and stressful time it is a huge pleasure for me to marvel at the awakening of nature in the small first signs of growth and to feel as a deep feeling of happiness.

An den Flieder

. 

Flieder, blühst du,
stillt sich die Sehnsucht, –
lösest ganz leise die Flügel der Seele,
lähmst durch ein wonnig-weiches Ermüden
die vor Erwartung erregten Gedanken,
wandelnd Lust und Leid in lauter
blühendes, liebendes All-Empfinden.


Karl Ernst Knodt, 1856 - 1917

Free ourselves

Our task must be to free ourselves 
by widening our circle of compassion 
to embrace all living creatures and 
the whole of nature and its beauty.

Little Wonders - 2

.

Spring forever appears

the soothing music part

of lyrics unspoken.

It thaws the frozen fears,

mends the wounded heart

that Winter has broken.

- Aarno Davidson

softness

.

Softness triumphs over hardness, feebleness over strength. What is more malleable is always superior over that which is immoveable. This is the principle of controlling things by going along with them, of mastery through adaptation.

- Laozi
