Illustrated with 87 color photos of roses, this collection of 156 love poems is divided into seven parts that chart the ups and downs of a unique and mysterious love story. It is inspired by the mystical poetry of The Songs of Songs and its commentators, as well as Love concepts from the Buddhist and Hindu worlds. The rose of Saint Exupery's Little Prince makes an appearance, and so does the Sleeping Beauty, accompanied by other charming figures from an array of fairy-tales. Words of favorite poets - Emily Dickinson, Sappho, T.S. Eliot, e.e. cummings, Rainer Maria Rilke, and Czes
