Terra Cotta Botanical Boutique Language Of Flowers, The

Floral symbols adorn the earliest poetry, and over the centuries they became increasingly entwined with myth and legend, with religious symbolism, and with herbal folklore. By the early nineteenth century the "Language of Flora" was an elaborately refined system, especially in England and America, where books listing flower meanings and illustrating them with verse were perennial bestsellers. Transcending the charm of its Victorian predecessors, this anthology creates an extended, updated, and more robust floral anthology for the twenty-first century, presenting poets through the ages from Sappho, Shakespeare, and Shelley to Ted Hughes, Mary Oliver, and Louise Glück, and across the world from Cuba to Korea, Russia to Zimbabwe.

Delve into the enchanting world of floral symbolism with this exquisite anthology that explores the rich history and meanings behind flowers. A wonderful blend of poetry and illustration, this book transcends time and invites readers to appreciate the delicate language of flora, making it a beautiful addition to any library.
