" Happiness is strange;
it comes ... when you are not
seeking it.
When you are not making an
effort to be happy, ... then
.... unexpectedly, .... mysteriously,
...... Happiness is there, .....
born of purity, ...of loveliness of being. "
- Jiddu Krishnamurti
"Purity and simplicity are the two wings with which man soars above the earth and all temporary nature."
Thomas a Kempis

The history of Quaglietta begins when, to stop the Saracen incursions in the Sele Valley, it was decided to build 3 fortresses: Valva, Senerchia and Quaglietta, (which however at the time was called castrum Quallectae).
The first settlement was therefore a military fortress built on a rocky spur (284 m above sea level) to which a village was added over time.
The name has nothing to do with quails as many believe but with the ancient Latin name of the area or Acque electe which translates as pure water and refers to the richness and purity of the waters that flow in the area.
Although the town is closely linked to the municipalities of the Sele Valley belonging to the province of Salerno, it is part of the province of Avellino and is a fraction of the municipality of Calabritto.
The 1980 earthquake hit this town hard but it was renovated with great attention and today the ancient medieval village retains its ancient splendor and is a tourist attraction.

Il primo insediamento fu quindi una fortezza militare costruita su uno sperone roccioso (284 m sul livello del mare) a cui nel tempo si aggiunse un borgo.
Il nome non ha nulla a che fare con le quaglie come in molti credono ma con l'antico nome latino della zona ovvero Acque electe la cui traduzione è acqua pura e fa riferimento alla ricchezza e purezza delle acque che sgorgano in zona.
Pur essendo il paese strettamente legato ai comuni della Valle del Sele appartenenti alla provincia di Salerno fa parte della provincia di Avellino ed è una frazione del comune di Calabritto.
Il terremoto del 1980 ha colpito duramente questo paese che però è stato ristrutturato con grande attenzione e oggi l'antico borgo medievale conserva l'antico splendore ed è una attrazione turistica.

No quotes this time, just the purity of a rural winter wonderland sunrise enhanced with a tiny touch of Topaz Impressionist. Am afraid, I don't seem to recall where the birdies have flown in from :-(.
Thank you for visiting, commenting, faving or inviting. Very much appreciated. Hope you'll enjoy the scene as much as I did at minus 12° C/ 10.4° F (pants were frozen afterwards from trudging through nearly knee-deep snow).

"blithely they saw the rising sun
when he shone fair on Carlisle wall;
but they were sad ere day was done,
though Love was still the lord of all."
(perhaps the best stanza of this beauty and sad song of love and died) ****✿⊱╮ ♫ ♫ ♫

"Life of my life, I shall ever try to keep my body pure, knowing
that thy living touch is upon all my limbs.
I shall ever try to keep all untruths out from my thoughts, knowing
that thou art that truth which has kindled the light of reason in my mind.
I shall ever try to drive all evils away from my heart and keep my
love in flower, knowing that thou hast thy seat in the inmost shrine of my heart.
And it shall be my endeavour to reveal thee in my actions, knowing it
is thy power gives me strength to act...."
Rabindranath Tagore

she should go back to work ... looking away, she wondered and where is my purity?
Her inner voice replied: it's in your soul. Sighs ...
She took a puff of her exquisite vanilla-flavored cigar ... wiped away her tears ...
it's time to enter the "makeshift door" that one with the green curtain.
