The air was fragrant with a thousand trodden aromatic herbs,
with fields of lavender, and with the brightest roses
blushing in tufts all over the meadows...
And lavender, whose spikes of azure bloom shall be, ere-while,
in arid bundles bound to lurk admist the labours of her loom,
and crown her kerchiefs witl mickle rare perfume.
There's a few things I've learned in life: always throw salt
over your left shoulder, keep rosemary by your garden gate,
plant lavender for good luck, and fall in love whenever you can.
