I know I have been posting a lot of photos of cactus but when these photos were taken, it was a really good day to photograph cactus. I didn't find any good poetry about cactus. I might start writing poetry about cactus but right now photography is about the only extra thing I can do. Here is a poem anyway, even if it doesn't relate to cactus.
Good reader! if you e'er have seen,
When Phoebus hastens to his pillow
The mermaids, with their tresses green,
Dancing upon the western billow:
If you have seen, at twilight dim,
When the lone spirit's vesper hymn
Floats wild along the winding shore:
If you have seen, through mist of eve,
The fairy train their ringlets weave,
Glancing along the spangled green;--
If you have seen all this and more,
God bless me! what a deal you've seen!
If You Have Seen by Thomas Moore
