As Eileen said, you are a gentleman in every sense of the word! The word "Barbarian" could never apply to you, sir! Cheers my good friend Demetrios!

My good friend, Jack, thank you for the visit and the vote of confidence in my character BUT if we read what is going on with the environment still I am a BARBARIAN in the degree I participate in BARBARISM. Thank you again!

If you must call yourself a Barbarian, you are the most gentle and caring of all the Barbarians! You always have such insight and knowledge of nature that you bring them to the table within this delightful poem! I really enjoyed reading this amazing piece this morning! What a harmonious poem, Great Work!!

My great friend, Russell, thank you for having such an opinion of me BUT still a barbarian I am, for as long as I pollute: the atmosphere, the rivers and the sea/ A barbarian I shall be! Thank you for your visit and your beautiful comment! God bless you!

TO LEARN FROM NATURE, IS TO LEARN IT ALL. THE SCHOOL OF NATURE TURNS BARBARIANS TO AGRARIANS! NICE POEM FROM THE MASTER- AS USUAL! FOREVER DISCIPLE JM

Yes, my faithful friend , Joseph, nature unquestionably is the greatest teacher of all but, unfortunately, human vanity, many times, refuses to admit it! I love you introducing the word " Agrarian" into the picture for those who cultivate the earth have so much respect for nature for they know very well that MOTHER EARTH is the queen of our existence! Thank you so much for your support! God bless you!

I have a new and very beautiful picture .... the leaves are yellow like the sun. - Oh ... a beautiful sight! - Have a nice weekend, Demetrios. - oxox // Anne-Lise :)

My good friend, Anne Lise, this very beautiful picture ...where." the leaves are yellow like the sun. - Oh ..(this). beautiful sight", that you are referring to wish I to protect from the BARBARIAN so you, your children and your children's children will have the chance to enjoy!

Oh sweet, Eileen, enormously your comment I appreciate and for that grateful I am BUT, alas, as long as I pollute the atmosphere, the rivers and the seas a barbarian I remain! Thank you my dear, you so gentle and kind!
