You have to guess the crossword of Life
Me? I'm trying to compose a puzzle about it
Life in illusion I refuse
I have a sense of reality in myself.

Křížovku života musíš hádat
Já? Zkouším medailonek o tom všem skládat
Žít v iluzi odmítám
Smysl pro realitu v sobě mám.

The Grassmarket is one of the oldest parts of the city, and although the architecture has changed the layout of its open space retains its historic character.
It has always been a bustling market place, in the past with many taverns and inns for the drovers coming to sell their cattle. Today there are still a variety of pubs and independent shops to visit.
The White Hart Inn here is probably the oldest pub in Edinburgh, visited by the poet Robert Burns in 1791 and later by the poet Dorothy Wordsworth.
By the foot of Victoria Street is the recently restored Bow Well. Built in 1681, it was the first provider of piped running water in Edinburgh.
The eastern part of the market was once the site of public executions, marked today by the Covenanters’ memorial.
Perhaps the most remarkable story connected with the place is the tale of Half-Hingit Maggie. After her hanging she miraculously came back to life and was allowed to go free. Look out for the pub named after her nearby.
The Grassmarket was used as a market from the 14th century, with cattle fairs, horse fairs and corn being bought and sold in its wide open space. But this also made it suitable for public executions, with the last hanging taking place here in 1784.
El amante, el poeta y el místico encuentran una satisfacción más plena que la que pueden llegar a conocer quienes buscan el poder, puesto que aquéllos pueden retener al objeto de su amor, mientras que el ávido de poder tiene que embarcarse continuamente en alguna nueva manipulación para no sufrir un sentimiento de vaciedad. Cuando llegue mi último día, no sentiré que he vivido en vano. He visto la tierra con los reflejos rojizos del poniente, el brillo del rocío por la mañana, y la nieve brillando bajo un sol aterido; he olido la lluvia después de la sequía, y he oído al tormentoso Atlántico golpear contra las graníticas costas de Cornwall. La ciencia puede otorgar estos y otros goces a más personas que las que podrían disfrutarlos sin su ayuda. Si es así, su poder se aplicará a un uso sensato. Pero cuando elimina de la vida los momentos a los que ésta debe sus valores, la ciencia no merece admiración, por grande que sea su astucia y refinamiento para llevar a los hombres por el camino hacia la desesperanza.
(La perspectiva científica) Bertrand Russell
J'ai capté cette fleur près de la rivière Nicolet tout près du Jardin Botanique de Kingsey Falls au Québec.
Je croyais que c'était une jonquille mais avec ma recherche j'ai constaté que c'était: " Le Narcisse des poètes."
Le Narcisse des poètes est une plante vivace à bulbe. Souvent cultivée par les amateurs de belles fleurs, elle pousse aussi spontanément dans les prairies humides de montagne.

This shot is taken from the Church of San Pietro in Porto Venere. The gulf is so named because it inspired the likes of Byron, Shelley, Dante, and Petrarch.
It inspired me too, but I decided not to swim across the bay like Byron did in 1822 for a rendezvous with Shelley.
Note: The bay is actually behind me. This photo is looking out into the Mediterranean toward's Byron's Grotto.
Happy shooting!

This is the delightful Newstead Abbey in Nottinghamshire. Best know as the ancestral home of Lord Byron (1808-1814). Byron was an English poet and politician. The Abbey is believed to date from the late 12 century and is one of my favourite local places.
.... Per il poeta che non può cantare
per l'operaio che ha perso il suo lavoro,..
per tutti i ragazzi e le ragazze
che difendono un libro, un libro vero
così belli a gridare nelle piazze
perché stanno uccidendo il pensiero.
per il bastardo che sta sempre al sole
per il vigliacco che nasconde il cuore
per la nostra memoria gettata al vento
da questi signori del dolore.
Chiamami ancora amore
chiamami ancora amore
che questa maledetta notte
dovrà pur finire
perché la riempiremo noi da qui
di musica e parole...
Chiamami ancora amore
chiamami sempre amore...
(Roberto Vecchioni)
Ascoltavo stamane questa canzone mentre guidavo.
Il tramonto stasera qui a Genova
Keep calling me Love (a song by Roberto Vecchioni)
Sunset now here in Genoa
Le seringat mérite fort bien son appellation de "jasmin des poètes" : c'est assurément un des arbustes les plus parfumés du jardin ! Intense et profond, ce parfum de fleur d'oranger laisse longtemps sa trace dans le souvenir des premières soirées de juin.

This is the work of the leading colonial architect of the time in Van Diemen's Land, John Lee Archer in 1847. Archer had worked on many projects, but is perhaps most famous for the Tasmanian Parliament House and the Ross Bridge (although there he was clearly trumped by the stonemason/artist Daniel Herbert). Archer had moved to Circular Head when Governor John Franklin, who had followed Archer's great patron Governor Arthur, abolished the position of colonial architect. He accepted a position of magistrate and helped design the streetscape for Stanley which was officially gazetted in 1842.
According to local legend, Archer built this house in 1847 for one of King George IV's illegitimate sons. However that arrangement fell through and so Archer himself lived there with his family until his death in 1852.
In the 1850s it became a private school and schoolmaster's residence, the first in Stanley. The name "Poet's Cottage" is actually quite late. An owner in the 1970s, the photographer Marguerite Close (1921-2013), named it after her second husband, the Tasmanian poet Lin Eldridge (1924-?). catalogue.nla.gov.au/Record/100227?lookfor=author:%22Eldr...{author-cluster:%22Eldridge,%20Lin,%201924-%22}&offset=2&max=2
Fittingly, it is now occupied by the great granddaughter of Edward Curr of the Van Diemen's Land Company (who built Highfield in 1826).
