Flora Fountain - Poetic Expression

Poetic Expression

A poem in Gujarati language by Niranajan Bhagat translated to English extols the beauty of the Flora Fountain thus:

A Glass and concrete jungle;
In its midst always
Quiet, comely,
With hope filled face,
she stands
Flora
A dream of spring in her matchless eyes,
holding in both hands stone flowers.
About her, in all corners,
Iron butterfly fly round and round
And life less insects plays

Famous quotes containing the words poetic and/or expression:

    “Nine-tenths of English poetic literature is the result either of vulgar careerism or of a poet trying to keep his hand in. Most poets are dead by their late twenties.”
    —Robert Graves (1895–1985)

    “A wicked mortal is not the idea of God. He is little else than the expression of error. To suppose that sin, lust, hatred, envy, hypocrisy, revenge, have life abiding in them, is a terrible mistake. Life and Life’s idea, Truth and Truth’s idea, never make men sick, sinful, or mortal.”
    —Mary Baker Eddy (1821–1910)
