Confederate Memorial Tartan
Here is Lady Chrystel reflecting upon a splendid Confederate Memorial Tartan fabric she just got from a friend through the Post.
Included with it was a gorgeous silver thistle brooch and this French poem :
Le ciel est, par dessus le toit,
Si bleu, si calme !
Un arbre, par dessus le toit,
Berce sa palme.
La cloche, dans le ciel qu'on voit,
Doucement tinte.
Un oiseau sur l'arbre qu'on voit,
Chante sa plainte.
Mon Dieu, mon Dieu, la vie est lą !
Simple et tranquille.
Cette paisible rumeur lą
Vient de la ville.
- Qu'as-tu fait, ō toi que voilą
Pleurant sans cesse,
Dis, qu'as-tu fait, toi que voilą,
De ta jeunesse ?
These are bright days indeed ! May they be blessed !
Best,
Robert
