Silent as the sleeve-worn stone Of casement ledges where the moss has grown



Received from Finland on 12 Feb, 2010.
When I read one of the analysis of the line "Silent as the sleeve-worn stone Of casement ledges where the moss has grown" in the poem Ars Poetica,
I immediately thought of this postcard.

Estonia

One day (more than a year ago) I realized that the colour pattern of MONO erasers kind of resemble like that of the Estonian Flag,
so I drew a picture of a mixture of the two and upload it to dA.
On the next day, I received a comment from an Estonian, who asked why I "even know the country",
and I replied to him that I learnt about it in history lessons that the country is one of those which gained independence after WWI.
Actually I was a bit surprised because I remembered that during that lessson,
one of my classmates asked something like "what/where Estonia is"
and then the teacher replied "it's general knowledge" with a how-dare-you-not-knowing-it expression on his face.
Anyway, the blabbering ends here.

It shows some medieval parts of the old wall around the old town of Tallinn,
which are under the protection of the UNESCO.

I think they are pansies, right?
The card itself is lovely to look at.
