Tulips. Tulipani.

Dašak proljeća iz mog cvjetnjaka, u ovo nedjeljeno popodne kad se sprema kiša nad Perojem, (ne zamjerite okolo moram još malo okopati). Ugodnu šetnju kroz moj blog. Hvala na posjeti i doviđenja do slijedećeg post. Ovako izgledaju tijekom dana.

Un soffio di primavera dal mio giardino, in questo pomeriggio domenicale, quando si prepara la pioggia sopra il mio Peroj, (non mi vogliate, il dintorno dei fiori necessita qualche piccola zappata). Buona navigazione su' e giu' per il mio blog. Grazie per la visita ed arrivederci fino all prossimo post. I tulipani durante il giorno.

A Spring whiff from my garden, now, in this grey sunday afternoon, when the rain is almoust in front of the door of my Peroj, (don't antagonize me, I have to make some digging all around the flowers). Have a nice time peeping my blog. Thanks for visiting me, have a nice time since the next post. The tulips during the day.

Tulips by A.E. Stallings

The tulips make me want to paint,

Something about the way they drop

Their petals on the tabletop

And do not wilt so much as faint,

Something about their burnt-out hearts,

Something about their pallid stems

Wearing decay like diadems,

Parading finishes like starts,

Something about the way they twist

As if to catch the last applause,

And drink the moment through long straws,

And how, tomorrow, they’ll be missed.

The way they’re somehow getting clearer,

The tulips make me want to see—

The tulips make the other me

(The backwards one who’s in the mirror,

The one who can’t tell left from right),

Glance now over the wrong shoulder

To watch them get a little older

And give themselves up to the light.

In the evening.

Tulips The tulip has great strength as it pokes up from the sod

The strong green leaf surrounds the bud and acts as a façade

Then as the leaves spread open and the colored heads appear

The beauty of God’s planning often cause my eyes to tear

The jagged edge is lacy as it gently opens wide

And as it does,… you will be blessed …by the beauty found inside

The stamen stands so proudly in the center as on cue

And the colors vary greatly in the star shaped colored hue

Their splendor is a statement, yet in a simple way

They give a casual beauty to a lovely new spring day

I clip each color gently as I picture my display

I gather quite a bounty and they form a big bouquet

They grace my table sweetly as they stand so straight and tall

And then with time they curtsey and they take a humble fall

It’s like their bowing over to give their quiet nod

To their talented creator,…to the Great Almighty God

Each time I see a tulip…. my heart is drawn to Him

So I think I’ll plant more tulips… and let the praise begin!

If I was a Tulip

by Silvana Krculić

And you were wind's-wings,

If I was a Tulip

I would not count

My broken dreams,

But bless the coming spring.

I would be happy

To know that you would

Touch my face

When the sun sets in.

I would feel you in full force,

Gently from within.

You would come to me

Each day-

Again to disappear,

But when the sun's-rays

Touch at noon-

Again I would feel you near.

I would let you see me

In colors-Pink, yellow and red.

You'd find me blooming

By the riverbed

Or, down in the valley

By the little creek,

To make proud

The water falls,

To make you feel meek.

But strong winds

Of late May

Again could make me weak.

My petals scattered

On the ground

And gone in a week.

But I will come again

To let you see...

Life is but a circle,

I will bloom

Again next spring:

Isn't it a miracle?

Crveni tulipan - ljubavna poruka

Red tulip - love message

Tulipano rosso - un messaggio d'amore

Žuti tulipan - neostvariva ljubav

Yellow tulip - unrequited love

Tulipano giallo - amore non corrisposto

Etimologia: dal greco turban, turbante, probabilmente a causa della sua forma.

Etimologija: iz grčkog turban, vjerojatno zbog oblika cvjetne čaške

Etimology: from greech turban, probably from the form of the flower calyx

Secondo un'antica leggenda persiana, un giovane di nome Shirin partì in cerca di fortuna lasciando la sua amata Ferhad. La ragazza attese per lungo tempo il suo ritorno, poi, disperata, partì a sua volta alla ricerca dell'innamorato. Vagò per molto tempo e soffrì la fame, il freddo, la sete, finché un giorno non cadde su pietre aguzze e pianse con la consapevolezza che sarebbe morta senza rivedere Shirin. Le lacrime si mescolarono al sangue e cadendo in terra si trasformarono in fiori rossi: i tulipani.

Prema staroj persijskoj legendi, mladić po imenu Shirin krenuo je u potragu za srećom, ostavivši svoju voljenu Ferhad. Djevojka je dugo vremena čekala povratak svog dragog, jednog dana krenula je sama u potragu za svojim voljenim. Lutala je dugo vremena, pateći glad, hladnoću, žeđ, dok jednog dana nije pala iznemogla na oštre stijene, plačući za svojim dragim, svjesna da će umrijeti bez da ga još jednom vidi Shirina. Suze su se stopile s krvlju i padajući na zemlju pretvorile su se u crveno cvijeće: tulipane..

Once upon a time, a young persian boy, named Shirin, left his belowed girl Ferhad, and goes looking for a happines. Ferhad waiting on him for a long time, but no sign of Shirin, so she goes seeking him. She wandered for him, suffering hunger, coold, thirst, and finally one day she fall down on the sharp rocks, and her tears mixed with her blood falling down became the red flowers tulips.

il tulipano selvatico simboleggia il primo amore, mentre nell'arte e nella poesia questo fiore ha rappresentato spesso l'onestà, l'incostanza, l'amore perfetto, la mancanza di discernimento. L'apparente contraddizione dei significati attribuiti al tulipano si pensa debba essere attribuita ai molteplici e contrastanti stati d'animo che vengono sperimentati durante un amore.

Divlji tulipan simbolizira prvu ljubav, dok u umjetnosti i poeziji ovaj cvijet često predstavlja poštenje, nestalnost, perfektnu ljubav, pomankanje rasuđivanja. Razlog ovako vidljive kontradikcije značenja koja su pridodana tulipanu, usko je povezana s mnogostrukim suprotnostima duše koji se očituju tijekom jednje ljubavi.

The wild tulip is a simbol of the first love, in the art and poetry this flower represent the honesty, instability, perfekt love, and lackeness of discernment. This contradiction in discraibing the tulip is due to the contradictons of the soul during the love story.

Portati in Europa dall'ambasciatore austriaco ad Istambul, i tulipani riscossero notevole successo presso le corti europee tanto che presso le classi borghesi i loro bulbi costituirono la dote di alcune ragazze in età da marito. Fu in Olanda che si creò ben presto un vero e proprio culto del tulipano. Fu, infatti, creata un'unità di misura che serviva appositamente per stimare la qualità dei bulbi, il "persit", ed inoltre, sempre i bulbi, furono oggetto di quotazioni in borsa

U Europu donio ih je austrijski ambasador u Istanbulu, tulipani su se ubrzo „proslavili“ na europskim dvorovima, dok su njihove lukovice kod građanske klase predstavljale miraz kod djevajaka koje su bile za udaju. U Holandiji je ubrzo nastao kult tulipana. Kreirana je i jedinica mjere „persit“ koja je služila za procjenu kvalitete lukovica, osim toga, lukovice su dugo vremena određivale visinu uloga na burzi.

In Europe is brought by the Austrian ambassadro in Istambul, the tulips very quickly take place all over the Europian kingdoms, and in the middle class some bulbs given as a dowry to the girl, represent a simbol of nobilty. The cult of growing the tulips soon take place in Holland. The measure unit „persit“ was created, and was used for estimating the bulbs quality. Beside this, for a long time, the bublb have a high position on the Burza.
