The viewless atoms of the air
Around me palpitate and burn,
All heaven dissolves in gold, and earth
Quivers with new found joy.
Floating on waves of harmony I hear
A stir of kisses, and a sweep of wings;
Mine eyelids close --"What pageant nears?"
" 'Tis Love that passes by!"

Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer, 1836-1870, was a Spanish post-romanticist writer of poetry and short stories, now considered one of the most important figures in Spanish literature.

To me..it's like sprinkles of joy now that it's Friday..hehe..happy weekend Dianne..
Surely the trick is to catch it as it passes? Nice choice of words and picture, Dianne.
Dear Dianne,
perfect photo - beautiful admission
happy weekend & greetings
Synke
It's wonderful Dianne.
greetings and a very nice weekend, Joop x
very nice. at the NM summit we discussed a bit (or i did anyway) about how we are a mess of atoms bound together to make a shape of a human body and that other dimensions exist within that space simultaneously. Let mine be filled with golden light.
Atoms in this life, our existence
pretty picture.
you enjoy the weekend.
a hug.
heel mooi gedaan, dit is een super foto.
Groetjes Von
I'm not too familiar with any sort of poetry from this time period...which is shameful. Thank you for the photo and the excursion into Spanish post-romantic poetry.
Hope you didn't stare into the sun too long taking that photo!!
Thank you dear HLiza yes sprinkles of golden sunbeams because it is Friday...have a happy weekend!
xoxoxo ♡
Thank you dear J Cosmo , I am pleased that you enjoyed the poem and the image.
Yes, I guess the trick is to catch it and perhaps Señor Bêcquer was more successful in catching love as it passed by. Personally I find that love eludes me, no pageant here, no love passes by or comes close.
xoxoxo ♡
Thank you dear Synke for your thoughtful comment.
Happy weekend and greetings to you too! :)

Thank you dear Zoop , I am pleased that you enjoyed the post.
Greetings to you and have a nice weekend also, Dianne. xoxoxo ♡
Thanks dearest K9 for your thoughtul comment. Yes we are a mass of atoms bound together by electrostatic, ionic and covalent bonds into a sequence of complex molecules which make the human body.
Thankfully we live in and share the few dimensions in which we can perceive and appreciate the beauty of a multi dimensional Universe.
Yes let mine be filled with golden light also, that would make me very happy! :)

Thank you dear Ricardo , yes atoms, our existence; happy that you enjoyed the poem and the picture.
Have a lovely weekend.
A hug.

Dank u lieve Von voor uw attente reactie, ja het is een groot beeld, het is een gratis 'wallpaper' imago.

Dear Olga , thank you for your thoughtful comment ... it is not shameful that you are not familiar with the poetry from this period. I was mostly familiar with the English poets but since I do love poetry I have discovered many beautiful poems and poets with my searches via the Internet. I have many beautiful poems scattered here on my blog by various poets including Pablo Neruda, Rainer Maria Rilke, e e cummings, Wordsworth and Byron. My favorite poem of Bêcquer, "Amid Obscure Shadows", is here ... also some of my better poems were written in earlier posts.

Hello Phossy my sweet, nice to see you here. :)
No, I didn't take this beautiful photo and I would never stare directly at the sun. As the sun is above the clouds here this photo was most likely taken from an airplane or somewhere extremely high up.
xoxoxo ♡
Olá, amiga!
A foto é bonita e gosto da poesia...
Boa semana!
Beijinhos.

Thank you dearest Foamy , I only discovered the poetry of Bêcquer earlier this year, his works are well known in Spain.
This is a lovely poem but my favourite of his "Amid Obscure Shadows"is one that I posted in March this year.
Have a happy week Foamy dear. ✿
xoxoxo ♡
aha .. and i wasn't familiar with him then either but liked what i read. i'm going to have to start remembering his name .. :)
Yes Foamy dear, I thought the poem which I posted in March was truly romantic and beautiful; ♥ perhaps I will post some more of his poems here in the future and other poets, there are so many beautiful works from which to choose. :)
xoxoxo ♡
Becquer was always one of my favorite poets, I'm glad you chose this time his romantic words, a pleasure to walk by this corner and peaceful yours!
