to live among
If not in reality
then in imagination,
trees of such variety and beauty
that you can’t help
loving yourself
among the trees.
from Poet, Lover, Birdwatcher by Nissim Ezekiel
I don't know if this post was inspired by the blog of one of my seniors in college.
Or the fact that I am trying to put together a series on trees for my blog.
Whatever it is, I regard finding this quote in a book I borrowed from Goa's Central Library yesterday as serendipity of the odd-link sort.
God grant us all trees!
(Is it also a coincidence that the syllable 'tree' is part of 'poetry'? I think not!)
