1000 th UNIVERSAL ICON WITHOUT BORDERS

Time goes by fast , we will continue with introduction
Rose :
Ancient times gave the rose its origins. When Aphrodite’s lover, Adonis, died, his blood gave birth to the first red rose. The rose then became the symbol of love that sometimes wins over death, and also a symbol of rebirth
Rose have been inspiration over and over again to many artists in all domain of artistic expressions .

Rose - universal icon without borders
We all agree .....
Now I am going to post just one petal created century ago by extraordinary wizard of words name Rainer Maria Rilke(sweet childhood memories discovering magic world of literature in roses garden )


Sonete VI

"Rose, du thronende, denen im Altertume
warst du ein Kelch mit einfachem Rand.
Uns aber bist du die volle zahllose Blume,
der unerschöpfliche Gegenstand.
In deinem Reichtum scheinst du wie Kleidung
um Kleidung um einen Leib aus nichts als Glanz;
aber dein einzelnes Blatt ist zugleich die Vermeidung
und die Verleugnung jedes Gewands.
Seit Jahrhunderten ruft uns dein
Duft seine süßesten Namen herüber;
plötzlich liegt er wie Ruhm in der Luft.
Dennoch, wir wissen ihn nicht zu nennen, raten...
wir Und Erinnerung geht zu ihm über,
die wir von rufbaren Stunden erbaten.


Rose, you majesty-once, to the ancients, you were
just a calyx with the simplest of rims.
But for us, you are the full, the numberless flower,
the inexhaustible countenance.
In your wealth you seem to be wearing gown upon gown
upon a body of nothing but light;
yet each separate petal is at the same time the negation
of all clothing and the refusal of it.
Your fragrance has been calling its sweetest names
in our direction, for hundreds of years;
suddenly it hangs in the air like fame.
Even so, we have never known what to call it; we guess...
And memory is filled with it unawares
which we prayed for from hours that belong to us.

INTROSPECTION PART CAN BE MISLEADING ,AS EVERY CHESS PLAYER YOU SHOULD KNOW EVERY FOOL CAN MAKE A MOVE BUT WHAT IS NEXT CAN YOU PLAY ?!
THERE IS ANOTHER TRUE EXPLANATION AT BEGINNING BY ANTOINE DE SAINT EXUPERY

" To be a man is... to be responsible. It is to feel shame at the sight of what seems to be unmerited misery. It is to take pride in a victory won by one's comrades. It is to feel, when setting one's stone, that one is contributing to the building of the world. "

GOOD MORNING SUNSHINE WHEREVER YOU ARE.....
