Alight with laughter ~ Heart's ease

"For pansies are,

I think, the little gleams

of children's visions from

a world of dreams. Jewels

of innocence and joy and

mirth, alight with laughter

as they fall to earth."

~ R.C. Lehmann ~

The pansy image featured

in this notecard & bookmark

set, was from the book Heart's

ease, published in 1909.

Definition of heart's ease:

1. peace of mind
2. the pansy or other plant

of the genus Viola...

In Victorian times, pansies meant

thoughts or remembrance.  If you

received a bouquet of pansies,

someone was thinking of you.
