This photo is for Guest Heart Thursday. =) I took it at Lowe's plant nursery. I try to remember to bring a camera with me everywhere, because you never know where or when a great photo will turn up."Look, do you see that poem?" she [Anne] said suddenly, pointing. . . "There . . . down in the brook . . . that old green, mossy log with the water flowing over it in those smooth ripples that look as if they'd been combed, and that single shaft of sunshine falling right athwart it, far down into the pool. Oh, it's the most beautiful poem I ever saw."
"I should rather call it a picture." said Jane. "A poem is lines and verses."
"Oh dear me, no. The lines and verses are only the outward garments of the poem and are no more really it than your ruffles and flounces are YOU, Jane. The real poem is the soul within them... and that beautiful bit is the soul of an unwritten poem. It is not every day one sees a soul... even of a poem."
~Anne of Avonlea by L.M. Montgomery, 1909
