I know, often it's a commonplace quoting the words of wisdom of the great thinkers of the past ages.
But I think that often they were right. We should not try to be original at any cost, because our presumed originality might fade into an even worse cliché.
It's like fashions, you see. When there is a new fashion, which everybody starts following, it becomes irremediably banal after a short while.

Oh well, I'm just rambling, which is never a good thing.

This useless prologue is due to the fact that I thought of a sentence of Marcus Tullius Cicero after taking this picture:

“If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.”

And, yes, definitely he was right.

We are so lucky to have a generous garden that has already started donating us fresh vegetables, so preciously welcome in this hard period.

It pleases me to take amateur photographs of my garden, and it pleases my garden to make my photographs look better.
