Ah Sunflower, weary of time,
Who countest the steps of the sun;
Seeking after that sweet golden clime
Where the traveller's journey is done;
Where the youth pined away with desire.
And the pale virgin shrouded in snow,
Arise from their graves, and aspire
Where my Sunflower wishes to go!
- William Blake, Songs of Experience
Quite optimistic and interesting poem by William Blake. Apart from this aspect of poetry I was wondering as why does sunflower always looks at the sun. Okie dont spoil the mood by scientific explanation.
Imagine someone just staring all the day at someone. Is it the looks of anger? Are these emotions of love? or just the lusstful eyes of sunflower?
A field full of sunflower, all looking at Sun. Why do they admire it soo much? What kind of love is this? Just looking at sun and just looking.
And what about sun? How does it feel? Embarassed? Shy? Proud? Happy? or indifferent?
Does sun like it being gazed by someone always all the time?
