The Seller of Violets
Standing near to the market last Saturday, this boy looks as if he'd rather be playing football with his friends, doesn't he?

"A l'ombre du rosier
ReplyDeleteFleurit la violette,
C'est la douce fleur
Où j'ai mis mon cœur
Voyez la violette
A l'ombre du rosier
Apprenez que l'amour
Pour être heureux se cache
Comme cette fleur
Où j'ai mis mon cœur
Pour bien garder, on cache
Le trop fragile amour
Puisque dans mon jardin
La fleur d'amour y pousse,
Cueillez donc la fleur
Et prenez mon cœur
Puisque l'amour y pousse,
Restez dans mon jardin !"
il a l'air tres timide de vendeur
Violets already? Time's flying past too quickly.
ReplyDeleteYou're right in your reading of his body language. He looks very fed up..
I wonder if he sold them by the end of a long day?
ReplyDeleteMaybe hes selling violets to get a new comic book.
ReplyDeleteYes, you are right! He should be playing...
ReplyDeleteFantastic capture of the seagull! :-)
Another great image.
ReplyDeleteYour images with people are just as great asthose scenery pictures.
A perfect quote for your post, Jilly. You're right, it would seem his dreams of playing ball that day were dashed by slow moving sales of violets by the seafood shop. Excellent image!
ReplyDeleteHe looks like a shy entrepreneur, perhaps hoping the violets will sell themselves.
ReplyDeleteAw, very sweet. And I like his fauxhawk!
ReplyDeleteHis flowers are so pretty - I wish I was there to buy some from him. Then, maybe, he could go play...
ReplyDeleteYep! He does!
ReplyDeleteBut, what a good boy he is to pitch in and help with the sales. The lattice work of the box caught my eye. Another good example of beauty in the mundane.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realise people still sold Violets. The boy looks really happy (not!)
ReplyDeletereally get a new comic book.
