In fact, I am just now reading his entirely readable translation of Beowulf (I forget who did the version I read back in 7th Grade). Lovely of you to post this accompanied by Pachelbel's Canon in D. And it's amazing that you are berry picking right now too. We have been harvesting our apple tree raining huge apples in the backyard! The deer are getting to eat more fallen apples than I'm able to make into apple crumbles and apple pies. Dreamy dress for floating around your fruit cages. -- J xxThe Foolish Aesthetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17115423516641338460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323669341005732437.post-57825519931486201392013-08-31T13:02:37.585-07:002013-08-31T13:02:37.585-07:00Could there be a more perfect dress for wafting ar...Could there be a more perfect dress for wafting around in a fruit cage, picking tayberries??<br />I've loved this poem ever since I first read it, maybe 4 years ago. The images that have stayed most vivid for me are: "...sweet /like thickened wine: summer's blood was in it", and, "where briars scratched and wet grass bleached our boots". (In fact, I'm sure I once titled a blog post with the latter quote).<br />It is of course now so much more poignant reading Heaney's poem after yesterday's sad newsRosalindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11916652711513095607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323669341005732437.post-32761852387894842452013-08-31T10:49:27.743-07:002013-08-31T10:49:27.743-07:00Emalina, I love this!!

How beautiful when a crop comes to fruition. You are tremendously elegant in that lovely gown - like Curtise, I'd have it not only berry-blotched but snagged to pieces in short order, lol. I love the perfect accompaniment of this Seamus Heaney poem on the fleeting deliciousness of it all, just at the time of his passing.

I adore berry picking! It always whisks me straight back to memories of doing so in my paternal grandparents little backyard garden when I was growing up. They grew the plumpest, loveliest raspberries I've ever tasted (I swear, theirs are the reason raspberries remain my favourite fruit to this day), and ever once in a while, for an extra special treat, grandma would whip some up into one of her heavenly trifles. So yummy! :)<br /><br />Have a marvelous long weekend, dear gal!<br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.com
