Black Magic
The moody Black Magic
Sends forth its beautiful Royal
claret color
To overwhelm the hues of the
garden.
You are Royal, Black Magic.
You reflect the tint of Princes
and Kings!
---BT
O geraniums, and yours O foxgloves,
Springing up amidst the coppice,
That gave my childish cheeks
their rosy warmth.
---Colette, Sido, 1922
