“There’s rosemary, that’s for remembrance; pray, love, remember;
and there is pansies, that’s for thoughts…
There’s fennel for you, and columbines; 
there’s rue for you, and here’s some for me; we may call it herb of grace o’ Sundays. O, you must wear your rue with a difference.
There’s a daisy.
I would give you some violets, but they wither’d all when my father died. They say he made a good end,— [Sings.]
“For bonny sweet Robin is all my joy.”
William Shakespeare, Hamlet (Ophelia)
Stella's Place 
Thank you, just what is needed for a drab Thursday.
