Once Flower met a Pearl.
Flower:”Our family is large;roses and daisies are members of the family.There are many having distinctive scent,appearance etc.Suddenly, a tinge of distress appeared on flower.
Pearl:”Nothing for sorrow in your talk, than you are depressed?”
Flower:”Human deal with us carelessly;not grow us for our sake but to get pleasure from our fragrance and beautiful appearance,and throw us on the street/garbage after using us.The flower sighed and said “Tell to me about your life! How do you feel it.You are buried in the bottom of the sea.”
Pearl:”Although I have none of your distinctive colors/scents, humans think I’m precious.They do the impossible to procure me.I live in a thick shell isolated in the dark seas.However, I’m happy and proud to be in safe zone far from wanton and mischievous hands and still the humans consider me highly valuable.”
Think what the Flower and the Pearl symbolize?
The Flower is the unveiled woman(who shows her charms)
&
The Pearl is the veiled woman(who conceals her beauties)
John Clare
Secret Love
I hid my love when young till I
Couldn’t bear the buzzing of a fly;
I hid my love to my despite
Till I could not bear to look at light:
I dare not gaze upon her face
But left her memory in each place;
Where eer I saw a wild flower lie
I kissed and bade my love good bye.
I met her in the greenest dells
Where dewdrops pearl the wood blue bells
The lost breeze kissed her bright blue eye,
The bee kissed and went singing by,
A sunbeam found a passage there,
A gold chain round her neck so fair;
As secret as the wild bee’s song
She lay there all the summer long.
I hid my love in field and town
Till een the breeze would knock me down,
The bees seemed singing ballads oer,
The fly’s bass turned a lion’s roar;
And even silence found a tongue,
To haunt me all the summer long;
The riddle nature could not prove
Was nothing else but secret love.
love~~
