The Bluebell is the sweetest flower
That waves in summer air:
Its blossoms have the mightiest power
To soothe my spirit’s care.
ブルーベルはこの世で一番かぐわしく
夏の風に揺らめいて、
花は偉大な力で
私の魂の痛みを和らげる。

note: flowers in the picture are not bluebells. I chose similar one in my stocks.
When I visit European countries, I’m always looking forward to finding new table waters. You may have a question why I’m interested in just a glass of water. It is just a bottle of natural water and common in Europe, isn’t it? Is it difficult to buy pure bottled water in Japan? No. You can easily find many kinds of natural waters in any supermarket and tap water is completely safe. What I want to find is hard water, having high mineral content. One of my favorites is BADOIT which is popular in France. It is slightly sweet with taste of magnesium and calcium, especially good for intensely flavored dishes.
何も咲かない寒い日は、下へ下へと根を伸ばせ。
やがて大きな花が咲く。
When it’s too cold to come into bloom, you put down roots in deeper and deeper.
You will have a large flower soon or later.
