A Poor Life

"It was in 1931 that Frank Smythe and Holdsworth stumbled on the valley while returning from their successful Kamet expedition. There were "at once transported from a region of solemn austerity to a fairyland of dainty flowers, most of them dwarf, but brilliant in colour". Bustling with beautiful, lively and vibrant colours, this park spread over an area of 87.5 sq. kms. has the largest collection of wild flower species.

Thats - Valley of Flowers"

I want to verify the information given above.
Sadly , eventhough I have the cash ;people are so busy and they have to really think before spending two weeks for nature. A friend also suggested "Whats the big deal?"(he is short of a tooth now).

Some obstacles:
- Leave from work
- No one to accompany (the motive behind the blog)

Remmembered 10th Standard,(now I understand this poem better ; had a hard time explaining the reference to context to my English Teacher; My friend William , you had a point!!)

What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare?

No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows:

No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass:

No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night:

No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance:

No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began?

A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

William Henry Davies
