It is lilac season at last. Each spring I look forward to cutting blooms for this antique German vase and letting the room fill with their perfume. I imagine the woman or women who owned the vase before me, bringing in an armful of lilacs, fussing over the arrangement, celebrating the sweetest days of spring in a similar way. That’s how it is with those of us who love old things. We recognize that it is sometimes possible to hold time in one’s hands. (at Spokane, Washington) -- source link
