Drink to me only with thine eyes,
And I will pledge with mine;
Or leave a kiss within the cup,
And I'll not ask for wine;
The thirst, that from the soul doth rise,
Doth ask a drink divine;
But might I of Jove's nectar sip,
I would not change for thine.

Wonderful photo, beautiful flower. Sweet quote from Ben Johnson.
As Keats might have said if he could have seen it:
""Beauty is truth, truth beauty," – that is all
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know".
Thank you for posting,

Beautiful picture fittingly paired with an equally beautiful poem/song. I love the flower and the song.
We sung it a lot in grade school taught by our beloved music teacher.
Thanks for sharing.
Just beautiful. And so well done.
Geeez, Ed! You’re good!!!! Beautiful image!
