You may go, but only to grieve." "Your bell-flower will be plucked and crushed like that you wear so proudly upon your breast." These, and other like innuendoes, could not be conjectural? However obtained, they betokened a knowledge of the past, with an implied forecast of the future probable as it was painful. The "yellow fawn," too. The reference was clear; Lilian Holt was the yellow fawn.
"You see," said the dandelion, "it's very difficult for us this year to get all our seed settled; and yet one would like to do the best one can for one's children. How the bell-flower and the poppy and the poor burdock will manage I do not know, upon my word. But the thistle and I have put our heads together and have hit upon an expedient. You must help us."
Returning from an excursion to Lake Silvaplana, she found in her chamber a basket containing a veritable sheaf of Alpine flowers, freshly gathered, and among them not only Edelweiss in profusion, but several very rare plants, and the rarest of all a certain bell-flower creeper, which smells like the apricot, and which, except in some districts of the Engadine, is only found now in Siberia.
I can see the darkness through its petals. But for him it is a fresh bell-flower, in which he fumbles with delights like a bee. 'For me, quivering in the interspaces of the atmosphere, is the darkness the same that fills in my soul. I can see death urging itself into life, the shadow supporting the substance. For my life is burning an invisible flame.
This afternoon I took a long walk in the woods. I had succeeded in gathering some labiates, the dead nettle, the pyramidal bell-flower and the wild thyme, when in the midst of my occupation, I heard the trot of a horse. It was he, a bunch of herbs and flowers in his hand.
Or is it the buff leaves, the grey stalks, the dun grasses, the ripe fruit, the mist which hides the distance that makes the day so brown? But the ditches below are yet green with brooklime and rushes. By a gateway stands a tall campanula or bell-flower, two feet high or nearly, with great bells of blue.
"Can't you fly up to the sun?" asked the bell-flower of the linnet. But that they could not do; and the days passed and the wretchedness increased. It was quite silent in the wood. Not a bird chirped, the fox stayed in his hole, the stag lay in the shade and gasped, with his tongue hanging out of his mouth, and the trees stood with drooping branches, as though they were at a funeral.
One of the bell-flower tribe, the clustered bell-flower, has a similar legend attached to it; and according to Miss Pratt, "in the village of Bartlow there are four remarkable hills, supposed to have been thrown up by the Danes as monumental memorials of the battle fought in 1006 between Canute and Edmund Ironside.
The corolla dried and reduced to powder will also afford a yellow pigment. CALTHA palustris. MARSH-MARIGOLD. The juice of the corolla, with alum, gives a yellow. CAMPANULA rotundifolia. ROUND-LEAVED BELL-FLOWER. A blue pigment is made from the corolla; with the addition of alum it produces a green colour. CARPINUS Betulus. HORNBEAM. The bark, a yellow. CHAEROPHYLLUM sylvestre.
John's wort is the flower of the harvest; the yellow petals appear as the wheat ripens, and there are some to be found till the sheaves are carted. Once now and then a blue and slender bell-flower is lighted on; in Sussex the larger varieties bloom till much later. By still ponds, to which the moorhens have now returned, tall spikes of purple loosestrife rise in bunches.
