" She said she would dance with me if I brought her Red Roses"

"No Red Rose in all my garden!" he cried, and his beautiful eyes filled with tears.
"Here at last is a true lover," said the Nightingale. "Night after night have I sung of him, though I knew him not: night after night have I told his story to the stars, and now I see him. His hair is dark as the hyacinth- blossom, and his lips are Red as the Rose of desire; but passion has made his face like pale Ivory, and sorrow has set her seal on his brow."
The Nightingale and the Rose
Oscar Wilde
Sometimes, but very rarely you can stumble upon an area of secluded peace in central London.
The Roses will be gone soon but with their absence comes the crisp beauty and scent of Autumn... my favourite.
