Garland

A garland is a decorative wreath or cord, used at festive occasions, which can be hung round a person's neck, or on inanimate objects like Christmas trees. Originally garlands were made of flowers or leaves.

Etymology

From the French "guirlande", itself from the Italian "ghirlanda", a braid.

Types

  • Bead garland
  • Flower garland (e.g. "Poo Maala" Malayalam: പൂമാല, "Poo Maalai" Tamil: பூ மாலை, "hoovina maale" Kannada: ಹೂವಿನ ಮಾಲೆ )
  • Lei - the traditional garland of Hawaiʻi
  • Pennant garland
  • Pine garland
  • Popcorn and/or cranberry garland
  • Rope garland
  • Tinsel garland
  • Vine garland
  • Daisy chain

    Garland created from the daisy flower, generally as a children's game, is called a daisy chain. One method of creating a daisy chain is as follows: daisies are picked and a hole is made towards the base of the stem, generally by piercing with fingernails or tying a knot. The stem of the next flower can be threaded through until stopped by the head of the flower. By repeating this with many daisies, it is possible to build up long chains and to form them into simple bracelets and necklaces.

    Garland is a city in the U.S. state of Texas. It is a large city northeast of Dallas and is a part of the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, as well of a suburb of Dallas.. It is located almost entirely within Dallas County, except a small portion located in Collin and Rockwall Counties. As of the 2010 census, the city had a population of 226,876, making it the 87th-most populous city in the United States of America and the 12th-most populous city in the state of Texas. Garland is second only to the City of Dallas in Dallas County by population and has easy access to downtown Dallas via public transportation including two Dart Blue line stations and buses.

    History

    Immigrants began arriving in the Peters colony area around 1850, but a community was not created until 1874. Two communities sprang up in the area: Embree, named for the physician K. H. Embree, and Duck Creek, named for the local creek of the same name. A rivalry between the two towns ensued as the area began to grow around the Santa Fe Railroad depot. Eventually, to settle a dispute regarding which town should have the local post office, Dallas County Judge Thomas A. Nash asked visiting Congressman Joe Abbott to move the post office between the two towns. The move was completed in 1887. The new location was named Garland after U.S. Attorney General Augustus Hill Garland. Soon after, the towns of Embree and Duck Creek were combined, and the three areas combined to form the city of Garland, which was incorporated in 1891. By 1904, the town had a population of 819 people.

    Garland
    In this godforsaken bitterness,
    I rest with my hands on your hands,
    As I am mislead.
    Now I dream of dreams everlasting,
    Of an uncursed world with dreamland sky.
    How I bleed in this social wilderness,
    I grow old without the promised beauty.
    I grow old without the live that I dreamed of.
    Hold me tight,
    I don't want to leave.
    Pull me tight,
    I don't want to die
