LESSONS FROM THE GORSE.
"To win the secret of a weed's plain heart." LOWELL (James Russell Lowell)
Mountain gorses, ever-golden,
Cankered not the whole year long!
Do ye teach us to be strong,
Howsoever pricked and holden
Like your thorny blooms, and so
Trodden on by rain and snow,
Up the hill-side of this life, as bleak as where ye grow?
─ Garden Walks with the Poets (1852) by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
