ROUGE l'AMOUR... Rosebud
« Douce, belle, amoureuse et bien-fleurante Rose,
Que tu es à bon droit aux amours consacrée !
Ta délicate odeur hommes et Dieux recrée,
Et bref, Rose, tu es belle sur toute chose. »
Pierre de Ronsard, Second Livre des Amours (1578)
Sweet, beautiful, loving and well-blooming Rose,
That you are rightfully devoted loves!
Your delicate smell men and God recreates,
And short, Rose, you are beautiful on everything.
Pierre de Ronsard, Second Book of Love (1578)
From Ronsard to Shakespeare via Verlaine...
Many poets have found in the rose the allegory of love.
Venerated by men since antiquity, the queen of flowers knows how to express all the nuances of feelings.
Throughout its history, it has forged a complex language.
It is today the cut flower the most sold in the world! Especially in February of course.
With love to you and thank you for ALL your faves and comments, M, (* _ *)
