This week’s Photo challenge is “Inspiration”
My inspiration for this post comes from this quote from Iris Murdoch
“People from a planet with no flowers would think we must be mad with joy the whole time, to have such things among us”

Bluebells remind me of Spring more than any other flower!
The Bluebell is the sweetest flower
That waves in summer air:
Its blossoms have the mightiest power
To soothe my spirit’s care.
Emily Bronte
Ah, steeds, steeds, what steeds!
Has the whirlwind a home in your manes?
Is there a sensitive ear, alert as a flame, in your every fibre?
Hearing the familiar song from above, all in one accord you strain your bronze chests and, hooves barely touching the ground, turn into straight lines cleaving the air, and all inspired by God it rushes on!
~Nikolai V. Gogol, Dead Souls, 1842
