Kaks' on kaunista kesällä: lehti puussa, ruoho maassa,
minä kohta kolmantena, minä lehti liehumassa,
minä kukka kuulumassa, minä heinä heilumassa.
Vaan en huoli huolikana, hyvä heinä, heilumahan,
hyvä kukka, kuulumahan, lemmenlehti, liehumahan;
ei pahat hyvästä tieä, ei katalat kaunihista,
rupalötöt ruskiasta, pullosuut punaverestä.
-Kolme kaunista
Summer is twice beautiful--
leaf on tree and grass on ground;
but I shall soon be a third--
I a leaf waving
I a flower heard of
I a stalk swinging.
And yet I do not worry
leaf on tree and grass on ground;
but I shall soon be a third--
I a leaf waving
I a flower heard of
I a stalk swinging.
And yet I do not worry
a good stalk, about swinging
a good flower, about fame
a sweet leaf, about waving:
the bad doesn't part itself from the good
the base from the beautiful,
a good flower, about fame
a sweet leaf, about waving:
the bad doesn't part itself from the good
the base from the beautiful,
no difference found between boyish rosy cheeks
and the blood red mouths stained from Catalan wine.
-Three Things of Beauty
Got my haircut today. My first professionally done "do" in over a decade. Gonna post about it later this week. Enjoy the Soumi, peeps.

I realize that this may seem random, but it's the first thing that hit me about your post. You have such a pretty face! Seriously, its like classic Sofia Loren! Hugs! ~Serene
I love the lace top...it is beautiful and I agree with Serene you have a gorgeous face!! The poem was appropriate for me because South Texas feels like summer already, humid and hot (over 90) which means summer will be unbearable!!
you get your hair cut and then wear a hat?! a cute hat, but c'mon!!!
Ok.. I must have your hat.. its getting cold here now..!
I love the backdrop of your photos.

Cute, cute, cute. I'm lovin the lace top, and that hat, well, its just fabulous. I can't wait to see your pictures of your hair cut!!!
But you are covering your hair with a hat...More suspense...
You strike as not only beautiful, but powerful inside and out.Off with the hair.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
You are so photogenic lady. That first shot is just gorgeous!
Awww...you look super cute in this hat!
Oh, how beautiful, kuinka kaunista!
Very pretty finnish poem, and it has a meter of Kalevala, so I like it :) I appreciate that you included those beautiful finnish lines to your post, my friend :>

That first picture is amazing! I'm wondering if the haircut was a good experience?
Bella dear, you are beyond adorable!! I love this & those stockings/socks!! Lovely poem! Appologies for my late arrival to this beautiful conversation! -xxoo
Do you speak Finnish? I'm even more fascinated by you now! That's a truly beautiful poem. As others have said, the hat is adorable, but I'm looking forward to seeing this new haircut of yours. :)

Bella my darling friend. There is something about you that makes my heart beat faster every time I think of you, which is often, every time I see your picture, every time I read your words. You have a grace, a presence, I guess it is your soul shining so strongly. My life is happier just knowing you are out there. thank you for sharing this beautiful poem. I am sitting in a coffees op in Brussels writing this, sending you much love.
you were a hit in the cafe. all the girls were so envious!
Oh, that first picture. That cap gives such a fine depth to your dark eyes.
You're one of the few that can pull off that hat with grace. Really pretty. Can't wait to see this haircut.
I can safely say that in that top pic particularly, you are a true beauty. It's a stunner.
