XV. THE BEE.
Like trains of cars on tracks of plush
I hear the level bee:
A jar across the flowers goes,
Their velvet masonry
Withstands until the sweet assault
Their chivalry consumes,
While he, victorious, tilts away
To vanquish other blooms.
His feet are shod with gauze,
His helmet is of gold;
His breast, a single onyx
With chrysoprase, inlaid.
His labor is a chant,
His idleness a tune;
Oh, for a bee's experience
Of clovers and of noon! |

| I think that this poem is talking about a bee that is entering a flower, which entices him to come to it with its sweet aroma. It then leaves, all covered in pollen, and goes to seek other plants. What she is really trying to say here is something about a sexual assault. The bee is the man, and it is lured in to the flower, or the female, by a sweet scent, or pheromones. Then, it assaults the flower, or has sexual intercourse, and then the bee, or man, goes away in search of others to assault, carrying with him a beauty that makes him attractive to the flower, or the female. |
