Aperçu du livre

Gardening Contemplations

POTPOURRI

The roses red upon my neighbour’s vine

Are owned by him, but they are also mine.

His was the cost, and the labour, too,

But mine as well as the joy, their loveliness to view.

They bloom for me and are for me as fair

As for the man who gives them all his care.

Thus, I am rich, because a good man grew

A rose-clad vine for all his neighbour’s view.

I know from this that others plant for me,

And what they own, my joy may also be.

So why be selfish, when so much that’s fine

Is grown for you, upon your neighbour’s vine.

ABRAHAM L GRUBER, My Neighbour’s Roses

PAUSE FOR THOUGHT

Hari and I got into the habit of going to the bibighar, and sitting there in the pavilion, because it was the one place in Mayapore where we could be together and be utterly natural with each other. And even then, there was the feeling that we were having to hide ourselves away from the inquisitive, the amused, and the disapproving. Going in there, through the archway, or standing up and getting ready to go back into the cantonment – those were the moments when this feeling of being about to hide or about to come out of hiding to face things was strongest. And even while we were there, there was often a feeling of preparedness, in case someone came in and saw us together, even though we were doing nothing but sitting side by side on the edge of the mosaic ‘platform’ with our feet dangling, like two kids sitting on a wall. But at least we could be pretty sure no white man or woman would come into the gardens. They never did. The gardens always seemed to have a purely Indian connection, just as the maiden really had a purely English one.

PAUL SCOTT, The Jewel in the Crown, (1966)

Bugs are not going to inherit the earth.

They own it now. So, we might as well

make peace with the landlord.

THOMAS EISNER, entomologist
