Florist Singapore - Flowers in poems and literature
|
Every distinguished writer has written about flowers, used them as symbols and as similies in their work. Literature is art in written form and writers, like artists understand the deep connection between people and flowers. Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote "Flowers...are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty outvalues all the utilities of the world." Iris Murdoch stated "People from a planet without flowers would think we must be mad with joy the whole time to have such things about us." Flowers can convey the feeling of love, joy, beauty and even strength, this can come across as literature of flowers. The American playwright, Tennessee Williams wrote " The violets in the mountains have broken rocks". The strength and tenancity are even elaborated in the tiny flowers like violets. The analogy is clear and impressive. The picture painted by flowers' poetry and literature can be beautiful. "Summer set lip to earth's bosom bare, And left the flushed print in a poppy there." (Francis Thompson-"The Poppy" ) "When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden daffodils;" (William Wordsworth-"I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud") This clearly imprint the image in your mind. These poems are famous and beloved for the images they create in our brains. Specifically roses, have always been mentioned as the subject of many famous lines. "My luve is like a red, red rose" (Robert Burns) "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet" (William Shakespeare-"Romeo and Juliet") "Tis the Last Rose of Summer" is a poem by Thomas More on the transitory nature of life. The story of flowers is central to many poems. While writers and poets have used the symbolism of flowers for many purposes, perhaps the best quotes are those that convey joy and hope. "Deep in their roots all flowers keep the light." (Theodore Roethke) "Every flower is a soul blossoming in nature." (Gerard De Nerval) Flowers, be it used as symbols or for thier own sake, they have never fail to arose the emotions and feelings of every person who sees them. Flowers are, central to thier core, symbols of elation, hope and the continuation of life. They die in the winter and return every spring and they always have. It is this continuity of rebirth that gives people of all cultures a sense of hope out of despairity and a sense of eternity; the belief that everything that dies will be reborn. It is, the reason flowers have, since prehistory, Flowers have been exchanged as gifts throughout the ages. They are a gift that can demonstrate emotions that people may not be able to articulate. The only reason anyone needs to send a gift of flowers is the desire to spread joy. Luther Burbank observed "Flowers always make people better, happier and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine to the soul." When you give flowers, you don't need words, flowers say it all. Florist Singapore - Flowers in Literature About The Author: You can visit author online florist store at Florist Singapore. |
