Purple Clover

There is a flower that bees prefer,
And butterflies desire;
To gain the purple democrat
The humming-birds aspire.

And whatsoever insect pass,
A honey bears away
Proportioned to his several dearth
And her capacity.

Her face is rounder than the moon,
And ruddier than the gown
Of orchis in the pasture,
Or rhododendron worn.

She doth not wait for June;
Before the world is green
Her sturdy little countenance
Against the wind is seen,

Contending with the grass,
Near kinsman to herself,
For privilege of sod and sun,
Sweet litigants for life.

And when the hills are full,
And newer fashions blow,
Doth not retract a single spice
For pang of jealousy.

Her public is the noon,
Her providence the sun,
Her progress by the bee proclaimed
In sovereign, swerveless tune.

The bravest of the host,
Surrendering the last,
Nor even of defeat aware
When cancelled by the frost.

Sapphire Blue

Blue is the color for calmness, relaxation and serenity. It promotes solitude, meditation and peace. Sapphire blue is rich, royal and vivid. The blue is so striking it is easy to see why it is always popular among gemstone lovers worldwide.

Until the discovery of extraordinary stones 4,500 meters up in the Padar region of Kashmir around 1880, Ceylon was the standard bearer for sapphire. For practical purposes, it still is. Kashmir's remote mountainside deposits were pretty much exhausted by 1930, leaving Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) to resume playing the leading role as the world's primary supplier, both for quality and quantity, of blue sapphire.

In recent decades, however, various countries in Asia and Africa have begun to play supporting and, some would say, increasingly major roles in satisfying world demand for sapphire. Of these new sources, one in particular has caught the gem world's eye: Madagascar, an island ten times larger than Ceylon off the east coast of Africa. Indeed, many in the trade find the best of Madagascar's sapphires virtually indistinguishable from Sri Lanka's finest.

What is meant by "fine" sapphire? The subject has always sparked a lot of debate in the gem world. True, experts unanimously agree that nothing tops the rich velvety blue of Kashmir stones for color. But with mining long halted in Kashmir, what is the best color coming from active localities? Some connoisseurs prefer the deep, dense royal blue of stones from Burma's famous Mogok stone tract. Others lean toward the vibrant, very transparent colors of Sri Lankan and Madagascar stones.

As you can see, there is broad diversity of opinion regarding fine sapphire. Nevertheless, connoisseurs generally want transparent stones with vivid open color.

i thank You God for most this amazing
day:for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky;and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is yes

(i who have died am alive again today,
and this is the sun’s birthday;this is the birth
day of life and love and wings:and of the gay
great happening illimitably earth)

how should tasting touching hearing seeing
breathing any–lifted from the no
of all nothing–human merely being
doubt unimaginable You?

(now the ears of my ears awake and
now the eyes of my eyes are opened)
