Roses in the garden--- "far from the madding crowd".


"It seems to me I'd like to go
Where bells don't ring, nor whistles blow,
Nor clocks don't strike, nor gongs sound,
And I'd have stillness all around.
----
----
Sometimes it seems to me I must
Just quit the city's din and dust,
And get out where the sky is blue,
And say, now, how does it seem to you?"
Far From The Madding Crowd - by Nixon Waterman

And that about says it all ! But I think I would just like to see the blue sky and stop to smell the roses -- city or not -- its more about a state of mind -- don't you think ?
