Small cards with text and thread of green ribbon sit on top of a pink background. Text reads: "June 21st 1771:" "How happy I am that my heart can feel the simple joy of someone bringing a cabbage head to their table", "that they grew themselves (and together with many others) and not just the cabbage alone", "but all the good days, the beautiful morning when they planted it," "the lovely evenings when they watered it and took pleasure in its progress," "all to be enjoyed again in one single moment." The Sorrows of Young Werther by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
