Like a protected heart, the blood-red flower of the wild rose begins to open on the lowest branch, supported by the netted mass of a large shrub: it blooms against the dark which is the heart’s constant backdrop, while flowers higher up have wilted or rotted; to survive adversity merely deepens its color. But John objects, he thinks if this were not a poem but an actual garden, then the red rose would be required to resemble nothing else, neither another flower nor the shadowy heart, at earth level pulsing half maroon, half crimson.
