March.
Lamium purpureum.
Lamia
Gordian was a form of dazzling hue,
spotted crimson, gold, green and blue;
striped like a zebra, Spotted a mo 'leopard,
eyes like a peacock, and all crimson edged;
was sprinkled of silver moons, so that, when she breathed,
dissolve, or brighter shone, or their lights intertwined
others with darker embroidery. -
So with sides iridescent, beset by so much misery,
appeared together in atonement for a woman of the elves, the beautiful
of a demon or a demon himself.
on its crest it had a languid fire
sprinkled with stars, like Ariadne's tiara;
his head was serpent, but oh bitter sweetness!
ess'avea mouth of a woman, complete with all its pearls,
as the eyes and what else there poteano similar to eyes, if not
cry and cry, because they were born so beautiful?
As Proserpine still weeps for its aura de Sicania.
Her throat was serpent, but the words that she was saying
they came, as through bubbling honey, driven by love.
and such: - while Hermes on his own wings rested, as
hawk bows down ere seize upon his prey.
(John Keats)
