Today is Elonka's day!

Thou wert so wise to my sight,
When in yonder dell I found thee
In thy radiant knowledge bright,
Though a desert spread around thee;
Like the heath-bell's purple flower,
Shrinking from a dewy shower.

Thou art rich in wisdom yet,
Great as when at first I met thee;
All the snares that could beset,
Rank and splendour, since have proved thee;
Change thy fortune as it will,
Thou art wise and faultless still

Katherine Mansfield

Happy Day, Elonka!
