seems to whisper of purity and VOL
ship; the rose, with its faint and far
away odor, which seems to hint o
eternal hope. One might almost fill

Virgin Mary, generally because they
chance to blossom on Our Lady's day.

There are lady's slipper, lady's mantle

begins to bloom in July, the feast o
visitation, and is at full bloom at as
sumption in August.
The lily was first found in connec
ton with the Virgin in the story Of
her ascension to heaven, and it orig
mated probably in the second century
According to this legend, it was three
days after the burial of our Lords
mother that the apostles visited and
opened her grave and found it filed
with fragrant, spotless lilies. Since
then these matchless flowers have been
called Madonna lilies" or flowers
of the Virgin" The ommon white
lily of u gardens, that blooms in
July, and is the sweetest and most
graceful of all flowers, might we'll be
called "holy." No one seems to know
it's origin. 1t is never found wild in
Palestine, nor can we find just where
it grows without culture. But we see
1t in the faded pictures of old Italian
masters and Netherland painters,
made long before the discovery of this
New World.
Nearly all of our great poets have
praised this flower. Chaucer and
Spenser speak of 1t as a mystical bios
som in their far-away gardens and
lady's bowers. Shakespeare it was
who first said: ITO gid refined gold
and paint the lily" and these lines
from one of his sonnets tell a truth
that can never be forgotten:
For sweetest things turn sourest by their
dCCNog
Lilies that tester smell far worse than
weeds.
Shelley has the lily in his wonder
full garden along with his sensitive
plant. Wordsworth often praises it.
Burns mentions it frequently. Tenny-
o has lovely lily thoughts; but our
own Longfellow draws the prettiest
picture of maidenhood-
Bears a lily in thy hand
Gates Of brass can not withstand
One touch of that magic wand.
James Russell Lowell always comes
near to the heart of things and left us
more than one sweet lily poem and al
fusion. and minor poets all tell
their love for this perfect specimen of
natures handiwork.
"Ouf Sweet Will Shakespeare" was
born in April, and it was of April's
flowers that he sang most frequently
and most sweetly.
