“Лён, папараць-кветкі, празрыстыя тканіны, васільковыя матывы, адмысловыя какошнікі — 8 ліпеня ў Мінску былі паказаны тры модныя калекцыі беларускіх дызайнераў, што свае новыя работы прысвяцілі святу Купалля.”

Flax, fern flowers, transparent fabrics, cornflower motifs, unique kokoshniks — three fashion collections of Belarusian designers, who dedicated their work to Kupalle, were shown on 8th of June in Minsk.

“Угледзеўся Градоўскі, а перад ім - Марфа, ды не тая, што ў жалезным ложку душу аддавала, а маладая, як на партрэце. Нават з вяночкам васільковым.”

Hradoŭski had a closer look: Marfa was standing before him, and not the Marfa that was going beyond the veil on an iron bed, but a young one, like on her portrait. Even with a cornflower wreath.

“З вытокаў таямнічых / язычніцкае даўніны / плывуць вянкі купальскія... // Па зрэнкавых паазер’ях, / па сэрцавых паартэр’ях — / рамонкавыя, васільковыя...”

Out of mysterious sources / of ancient pagan time / wreaths of Kupalle night float... // Over the lake passages of irises, / Over the arterial passages of hearts, / Made of camomiles, of cornflowers.

“васілько́выя во́чы”

cornflower blue eyes
