Florio's First Fruits - Book Report/Review Example

Starry Night “Night is the mother of thoughts.” John Florio, First Frutes “Night” a mother of thoughts is just the apt way of defining by John Florio. I lay out under the clear open sky with sparkling stars and full moon tonight. It brings out all the memories deeply hidden in my mind, reminding me of the wonderful moments spent with love of my life. It seems as if it were just yesterday that we arranged snacks, drinks and delicious home made food to enhance our grand welcoming party of the new year 2006.

The phone rang and I quickly grabbed it on only to know that our close family friends are ready to join us that evening at the park on a small island by the lake where the full-fledged party was arranged. It was seven pm and Chris was still at work, after a long wait I decided to go ahead along with my friends. Music was on but was not rocking enough really to dance with joy, seeming as though it was a heart breaking moment leaving another year behind. I took my place at one corner leaving all my friends aside, with a drink in my hand and thoughts wandering in my mind.

All my friends had their love by their side, holding one another smiling softly feeling every moment of that night. I wish I had my love too as it was ten in the night. We were done with our dinner, drinks and play. I was unable to pretend any longer, tears just roll off my eyes when I did see flowers showered over my head. Chris grabbed my shoulders to lift me up and wiped off the tears and was sorry to keep me waiting for some time. I just stood by unable to explain how much hard it was to be away from him on this specially arranged night.

All I could do was to just lay my head on his shoulder and spend the rest of the night in his arms. The dance floor was on with couples dancing by and when the clock ticked 12 midnight there was the blast of music and crackers all around. Crowd just shouted in a single tone “Happy New Year 2006” after the count down was done. I turned up to Chris to wish him a bright and prosperous year ahead, but there was something special in store for me tonight. Chris go down on his knees to ask me share his life, this was the moment I started to cry once again but this time the tears were rolling out of joy.

Now I see myself by his side unable to believe how these long years just flew. Everything around seems to be the same with all the dazzling stars and the moon shinning to the brightest in the clear sky. References: 1) http://thinkexist.com/quotation/night-is-the-mother-of-thoughts/532572.html
