Too beautiful to put into my own words!
VII. Poem from the Rose Cycle
The clear fresh rose blossom gently caresses
my closed eye lightly -,
as if it were laying a thousand cool lids,
one on top of the other, over
my hot lid. And a thousand slumbers
it then spreads over my deception,
beneath which I wander
in the scent of the labyrinth.
Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926)
For the sake of completeness:
I smell a small, fresh garden rose. Everything else has been filtered out by my nose.
The wonderful scent lasts for me 3-4 hours...
