Description


Hello Redosians ! I was in Weimar (Germany) lately and I've seen some beautiful things. I knew that Goethe and Schiller lived in this town and were close friends. I've learned that Goethe wrote a poem about the Ginkgo bilboa tree to a former lover. It inspired me this image I've created from a picture of mine. ************************ Here is the poem in german language: Dieses Baums Blatt, der von Osten Meinem Garten anvertraut, Giebt geheimen Sinn zu kosten Wie's den Wissenden erbaut. Ist es ein lebendig Wesen, Das sich in sich selbst getrennt, Sind es zwei, die sich erlesen, Daß man sie als eines kennt. Solche Fragen zu erwiedern Fand ich wohl den rechten Sinn, Fühlst du nicht an meinen Liedern Daß ich eins und doppelt bin. ************************ The poem in french language : La feuille de cet arbre, que l'Orient A confié à mon jardin, Donne son sens secret à savourer A celui qui l'élabore. Est-ce une créature animée, Qui s'est scindée elle-même, Ou bien deux s'étant réunies, Pour ne former qu'un. Songeant à ces questions J'ai trouvé la juste réponse, Ne sens-tu pas en écoutant mon chant Que je suis un et deux à la fois. ************************ And now in english language : This tree's leaf, which here the East In my garden propagates, On its secret sense we feast Such as sages elevates. Is it but one being single Which as same itself divides? Are there two which choose to mingle So that one each other hides? As the answer to such question I have found a sense that's true: Is it not my songs' suggestion That I'm one and also two? ************************ Production credits : Statue of Goethe : picture by me Ginkgo picture : stock by Tinywild (@deviantart) Ginkgo brushes : stock by ginkoflowers (@deviantart) Thanks for your comments ! Have a great day ! Virginie

Un magnifique photo-montage réalisé avec art et compétence et , ce que j'aime aussi dans ta galerie, le commentaire qui va avec et qui rend le visiteur que je suis un peu moins bête après qu'avant la vision de ce témoignage culturel. Joli travail, Virginie Free Clipart

Bon, je prends 5mn pour les ami(e)s...surtout quand, comme toi, ils (elles) mettent en ligne une bien belle photo qui, par-dessus le marché, nous cultive ! Moi qui prends tous les jours des gélules de ginkgo, je vais penser à Goethe ! En passant, tout comme Karma, je déteste cette nouvelle présentation !
