EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Contemplation Amongst the Trees: A Poetic Bookmark" This exquisite bookmark, dating back to the 20th century, is a stunning fusion of art and literature. Its design features a serene and intricately detailed illustration of trees, their branches reaching out in a harmonious dance, with the sun peeking through the canopy, casting dappled sunlight onto the lush grass below. The sun's warm rays add a sense of tranquility and optimism, evoking the beauty and wonder of nature. The poem inscribed on the bookmark is a poignant verse by Welsh poet W.H. Davies, titled "Leisure." The poem reads: "What is this life if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare. No time to stand beneath the trees And watch the squirrels hide; No time to see, in broad daylight, Streams full of stars, like skies at night; No time to rise and meet the sun, Or watch the wind on a wet day; No time to hear the greenslade whisper, The brook in the valley sing; No time to paint a picture, Or write a long, long letter; No time to do things right. So live your life that you might have the power, The power to experience sunshine, To know what is mean in the heart of darkness, And have the strength, the patience, And the will to wait, to let the slow Dawn break, and the slow dusk fall; To face the storm, and bear it, To feel the rain, and let it pass, To stand, to fall, to rise, and begin again; To find joy in looking on the earth, And to take your place in the living stream." This bookmark, with its beautiful design and inspiring verse, serves as a poignant reminder to take a moment to appreciate the beauty of nature and the importance of living in the present. It is a testament to the enduring power of art and poetry to touch the soul and enrich our lives.
