Hyacinths To Feed Thy Soul

"If of thy mortal goods thou art bereft,

and from thy slender store

two loaves to thee alone are left,

sell one, and with the dole,

buy hyacinths to feed thy soul."

~Muslih-uddin Sadi

13th Century Persian Poet

My bulbs bloomed this February in the kitchen window.

Oh, how I love hyacinths!
