Rain blessings

Rain rhythms :

 'and with rainy eyes. Write sorrow on the bosom of the earth'.
From Richard ll by William Shakespeare.

It rains in my heart
As it rains on the town:
What is this languorous ache
That wounds my heart?

Gentle, the sound of rain
Battering roof and ground.
How sweet the sound of rain
For the heart in pain!

Paul Verlaine / Translated by Manu Bazzano (Zen Poems) MQ Publications Ltd.


'The quality of mercy is not strain'd, it droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven Upon the place beneath. It is twice blessed, it blesseth him that gives and him that takes'.

from The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare
