For you a gift, my dear. br It is a flower. Because you are a flower. br br (I pulled off the stem, br for what is it but a handle? br No, I want you to hold my gift in your palms.) br br Here, br Have it. br But take it softly. br Cup it as you would a butterfly; br This Flower is delicate, and mustn’t be harmed; br It is precious to me, you see? br br I love this Flower. br That is why I give it you.
