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!
