As a beam o'er the face of the waters may glow
While the tide runs in darkness and coldness below,
So the cheek may be tinged with a warm sunny smile,
Though the cold heart to ruin runs darkly the while.
One fatal remembrance, one sorrow that throws
Its bleak shade alike o'er our joys and our woes,
To which life nothing darker or brighter can bring,
For which joy has no balm and affliction no sting --
Oh! this thought in the midst of enjoyment will stay,
Like a dead, leafless branch in the summer's bright ray;
The beams of the warm sun play round it in vain;
It may smile in his light, but it blooms not again.
While the tide runs in darkness and coldness below,
So the cheek may be tinged with a warm sunny smile,
Though the cold heart to ruin runs darkly the while.
One fatal remembrance, one sorrow that throws
Its bleak shade alike o'er our joys and our woes,
To which life nothing darker or brighter can bring,
For which joy has no balm and affliction no sting --
Oh! this thought in the midst of enjoyment will stay,
Like a dead, leafless branch in the summer's bright ray;
The beams of the warm sun play round it in vain;
It may smile in his light, but it blooms not again.
.Thomas Moore.
THE FLOWER FIELD
Lusine Lunam female/four years/marwari/smoky cream/14.3hh
The daughter of the Lunam family's matriarch (the Moonbearer), Lusine holds a high position. She wandered from the herd in search of new adventure, but it is likely she will return. Young, inexperienced, and flirty.
Lusine is a tricky one, with an innate fondness for the riddles spoken by her grandfather. She is considered one of the most talented dancers in the family, a cultural skill which is celebrated among the Lunam. This mare enjoys confusing others, and is a conversational escape artist - usually. Lusine refuses to be tied down by anyone, family or not, and is a bit ethnocentric when it comes to her breed and culture. She is prone to letting loose the fires of youth, and has a great love for racing, fighting, dancing competitions, or any contest she can get going, even if she loses.
