Go forth, my heart, and seek delight
Linked to Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Gardens.
The title is the English translation of a German church hymn, written by Paul Gerhardt and published in 1653:
Geh aus mein Herz und suche Freud
Go forth, my heart, and seek delight
In all the gifts of God’s great might,
These pleasant summer hours:
Look how the plains for thee and me
Have decked themselves most fair to see,
All bright and sweet with flowers.
The trees stand thick and dark with leaves,
And earth o’er all here dust now weaves
A robe of living green;
Nor silks of Solomon compare
With glories that the tulips wear,
Or lilies’ spotless sheen.

Glad, to see the back of you
This is the back of the war memorial in our town. Erected in 1936, it did both at the time: commemorate the men who had died in the first world war, and glorify the war itself, preparing the population for the next one. The names of the dead from that war where added in the fifties.

On the brink
… and it’s just about to drop!
And now for something completely different. This photo is from the South Africa vs Scotland game during the Rugby World Championship 2015 (one of the only two international matches I have ever been to). It’s really not fair to post a photo from a rugby match for this topic as you can just point the camera and something is happening. But I thought I’d share this tender moment between Francois Louw and Schalk Burger just before a line out (at any other time, this gesture might have been misunderstood):
