Stunning Fragrance
Posted in Fragrances | No Comments »What does the poem mean?
It has a strong choice of words, so it's a bit confusing. Herb Garden by Timothy Steele The lizard A copy of the small, thin spreads, the numbers adhesives to perform vertical push-ups on a sunny wall; Bees discuss spikes of lavender, and gold The swarm umbels of dill and little tufts of thyme. Tired of the lattice, one has found a resourceful Pink Cedar near climb and a braid in floral finery. Although the heat shocked sunflower seems half-dead The way he shepherd crook-like, hangs his head, herbs retain their low self-control: their scents and colors warm mix of good, careers between the bricks of the path, ants build volcanoes minute with sand. Thank you guys SOOOO much! It really really really really help me. I can not be more grateful:]
It is a poem in praise of the beauty and strength in small things. The lizard would not be able to do its thing on the wall if it were a large creature heavy. The bees are small creatures. Plants in the herb garden are small. The large cedar is just standing there, while the little Rose is climbing and the beautification of the tree. The enormous head of the sunflower sinks heavily, making great looking plant that died, while the scents and vibrant colors of the plants alive smaller plants set the beauty of the garden. The last line uses the word "volcano", a word normally associated with the power of nature and the magnitude of a large scale to describe the work of tiny ants. The implication is that there is a huge strength and beauty to be seen in the small details of the natural world.
