How does the quote relate 2 Mulan in the movie Mulan? The flower that blooms in adversity is the rarest of all
832280
It relates to Mulan because she breaks away from the norms of her culture and saves all of China through her efforts. She becomes more beautiful and more grown up in her adventure, thereby 'blooming in adversity,' or in other words, blooming through trials and hard times instead of shrinking away and giving up.

That's Wordsworth - the end of "Ode: Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood."\n\nHe is saying his mind--which stems from a consciousness of mortality, as opposed to the child's feeling of immortality--enables him to love nature and natural beauty all the more, for each of nature's objects can stir him to thought, and even the simplest flower blowing in the wind can raise in him "thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears."

In a religious/philisophical context, flowers symbolize renewal.  Either renewal of the body or of the soul. Also, perennial plants (ones which flower yearly) are analogus to the religious doctrine of ressurection.    A lot has to do with the ancient's perception of illness and the role that plants/flowers played in that.  Medicinal plants/flowers restored ill people to health, so there is a subconscious need to maintain a "relationship" with flowers/plants.  I know that this is a little disjointed, but I'm just giving you the tip of the iceberg to work with.\n\nGood Luck

Well, the biggest piece of irony in the whole poem is the last line!  The writer spends the entire poem talking about unlikely disasters which cause him/her great anxiety while outside the bunker the sun is shining!  Question being raised here is, do you want to spend your life hiding and worrying about things that may never happen, or would you rather be outside enjoying today in the sun?

It's the French version of 'Susan', and entered the Christian world through two virgin-martyr saints, one the daughter of a Roman senator and the other an anonymous Palestinian, in the 3rd and 4th century, respectively. It means 'lilly' and 'shining flower' in Hebrew, very pretty :-)

Are you sure it doesn't say: "the coward dies a thousand deaths, the brave but one."\n\nIf this is the quote you mean, it means that cowards die inside everytime something frightens them, while a brave person dies just once, when they physically pass away.

I'm not sure if it's supposed to be significant but maybe it's supposed to symbolize change and movement.  You know, like life goes on, no matter what.  Earlier in the movie, he catches a feather and keeps it, so it's like he's letting it go free.

In the poem "Music I Heard", written by Conrad Aiken, the love expressed is different. The character of the poem is a man, that is speaking about his loved one. Full of memories, he has flashbacks of when the loved one was around him and his belongings. After the loved person left, he is lonely. The memories are coming back to him in the quote (line #5), " Your hands one touched this table and this silver". He misses her and the good times they had together. He wants to have her come back to him. She is now only in his heart full of past memories.\n\nThe feeling that love brings in this poem is sadness. The sadness of missing the loved one is great. He is lonely and full of memories that still light up his hopes for having her come back. He remembers her actions and what she touched, but only the memories are left. The sadness is expressed in this quote (line # 3-4) by the character. "Now that I am without you all is desolate;/ and all that was once so beautiful is dead." He misses her a lot, and does not like things that much as he did when she was around.

You really need more of the poem in order to really explain the line.\n\nI'm going to guess that you're quoting William Wordsworth, and say that it basically means that the child grows into a man.  Generally a person keeps a similar personality throughout most of their life, especially once they've become a teenager.  What Wordsworth was saying in that poem is that the person he was as a child still exist within him now that he is fully grown, and will still be there when he is older.  It's one of those whole your past affects your present affects your future things.

It is not a poem. It is originally from the novel by Charles Dickens,  A Tale of Two Cities.  It is the opening sentence to the novel.  The actual quote is: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.   It is one of the most famous lines in all of literature and quoted very often.  I believe the sentence concerns the French Revolution.

How about a good quotation instead...?\n\nWe say we love flowers, yet we pluck them. We say we love trees, yet we cut them down. And people still wonder why some are afraid when told they are loved....\n\nIf you visit my blogspot, you can find this..... senyum, jangan tak senyum

Co-incidence dcides whom U meet in liife\nYour heart decides whom U want to stay in life\nBut DESTINY  decides who will stay in your life\n\nLove is for Life, Life is not for Love. \nLove may fail in Life, but Life should not fail in Love\nSo dont spoil Life in Love, but dont forget Love is Life.

"Its about two young lovers who have just meant and as the song goes on their love progresses. At first he is reminising on all the good times they've had and how she made him feel 'whole' again.\nThe next verse is how he's got to the point where he doesnt value himself anymore and all he can think and care about is her. \nAnd even though they've had bad times and raging arguments they'll still always be friends because they each share that bond that no one else has"\n\nhttp://www.songmeanings.net/lyric.php?lid=3530822107858485373&offset=25&page=2#comments
