Books and Roses




What is in a book?
The - oh - sweet smell of a rose
In Julia's hand



... the lines of this Haiku came to me because I - by chance - found again the lines in Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet":
Juliet:
What's in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet
...
it's just that "Juliet" is a "Julia" with me

The pictures show a scene at the Historic Graveyard in Weimar and a rose at Goethe's garden house in Weimar, Germany.
