शरद:विवाल्दी



ऐन्तिनियो विवाल्दी की मौसम सीरीज़ का भाग तीन:



Celebrates the peasant, with songs and dances,
The pleasure of a bountiful harvest.
And fired up by Bacchus' liquor, many end their revelry in sleep.

Everyone is made to forget their cares and to sing and dance
By the air which is tempered with pleasure
And (by) the season that invites so many, many
Out of their sweetest slumber to fine enjoyment

The hunters emerge at the new dawn,
And with horns and dogs and guns depart upon their hunting
The beast flees and they follow its trail;
Terrified and tired of the great noise
Of guns and dogs, the beast, wounded, threatens
Languidly to flee, but harried, dies.

(चित्र: डच मूल के लिम्बर्ग भाइयों की बारह महीनों की पेन्टिंग सीरीज़ से 'सितम्बर')

सर्दियाँ आ गईं सुस्ताइये,

धूप को ओढ़िये बिछाइये.

अशोक जी ,
जब सिद्धेश्वर जी ने सर्दियों की धूप पर सुंदर टिप्पणी की तो हमें कुछ महीनें पहले आपकी लिखी नींबू-मूली-भांगा वाली रेसिपी याद आयी |
जब से यहाँ पहाडी नींबू बिकते नज़र आए हैं तो हमारे घर में खूब खाए -खिलाये जातें हैं|
