a poem

“A White Rose"

The red rose whispers of passion,
And the white rose breathes of love;

O the red rose is a falcon,

And the white rose is a dove.

But I send you a cream-white rosebu
d
With a flush on its petal tips;

For the love that is purest and sweetest

Has a kiss of desire on the lips.”

by John Boyle O’Reilly.




do you know why i'm posting this poem??
i found this poem when i read a story in the internet. and when i first read it, it made me curious. Then i read it all over again. again and again.
then, SNAP!! i just realize that the cream-white rose that the author wrote about was the the same rose on the Stephenie Meyer's New Moon cover!!
Gosh! i didn't know if she knew the poem when she wrote the Twilight saga, but the cover of new moon consists of meaningful 'words'. it's just like the quote: "picture shows a thousand words"
wow,,just wow..


HERE IS THE COVER:
