People and Flowers
Language: English
Are people not like flowers? Do they not follow the sun? Do they not eat honey and drink rain? Do they not vary in size and raiment? Are there not some "perfect," some costly, some dangerous, and some, even ugly? If flowers are like people, do they watch and listen and, perhaps, converse? Then, after death, do they not return?
