our mixed feelings on quotes being what they are, here are a few poetry lines i like to hear {and so well in tune for today's meeting up of the drawing circle}. i admit it is a.o. the honed voice of actor ben whishaw which rings to mine ear,
“i almost wish we were butterflies
and liv'd but three summer days -
three such days with you
I could fill with more delight
than fifty common years
could ever contain.”
even songs aren't spared the flutterby sentiment... flap-flap-flap over to : patrice, ariane, renilde, rosemary, jasmin, demie, victoria, leena, stephanie, tatjana, hagar, nina, julia, tania, lise, rachel, greta, ... and thank you SO much for playing.
Your butterfly's wing's look like lovely old linoleum (or lino as we call it here) Woolfy x
ReplyDelete...lovely uncommon/strange colors, you know how i like that! xxx, julia

That song...now probably in my head for the rest of the day, such a happy tune!
ReplyDeleteThose poem lines..i perfectly understand what he felt.

Your pointellism is really magnificent,
ReplyDeletedearest Nadeschda,
and you remind me with the poem of Keats to look this movie by Jane Campion in original... I've got the DVD...
Thank you for this poetic theme! It turns out to be a huge metamorphosis...
Love,
Ariane.
I love your butterfly! It is really interesting to see how different the butterfly posts are!
ReplyDeleteInteresting colors, very unique and beautiful post:)
ReplyDeleteDear, this is lovely! Looks like a gorgeous pqttern for a new fabric! Imagine that on a silk blouse or a cushion! And respect for patiently dotting the pages... ;-)
ReplyDeleteI will visit the other butterflies later, 'cause I'm on a visit in Paris right now and just fluttered by to say Bonsoir! ;-)
Well, pattern was the word, of course, have you ever written on a french keyboard?? None of the letters at the right place!!
DeleteRinging very true, those lines. Love all the dotting!

dear nadine, I'm so sorry that I couldn'n fly in - I stayed in denmark for some days - there were no flutterbies in sight, it was cold and wintry, but beautiful, too.
ReplyDeleteI love your gorgeous wings and the poem!
xx mano
May the wings of the butterfly kiss the sun
ReplyDeleteAnd find your shoulder to light on,
To bring you luck, happiness and riches
Today, tomorrow and beyond.

Butterflies! This theme could not come from anyone that wasn't you :)
ReplyDeleteI've been listening to your cd mix in my car lately, and singing out loud the song from bright star's ost. I saw the film again a few months ago.
Do you remember my butterfly wing?
That reminds me of an e-mail of a lovely person I have to answer... I'll try to!
Big kisses nadine.
Hello dear Woolfy! I sit on your wings and admire your lovely patterns as i borrow a little bucket of fairy dust! I should like to ride on the back of your butterfly, across the world, into the heaven and back.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the adventure!
