The Old Garden

Richard Aldington

In the garden I sat rejoicing,

gazing at the quiet pool and the reeds,

and the dark clouds,

torn by the high wind,

like among the trees of many colours at summer's end

the branches of green shade;

looking at all this, and the lilies,

though I felt the greatest delight;

yet what made me almost cry out

was the roses, the whiteness of the plain stone slabs,

and among them

the pale yellow little grasses.

This is an exhibition about floral art and poetry

For our exhibited work this time, we chose poetry as the source of inspiration, and the overall floral arrangement expresses "old" through a French classical style combining fruit and fresh flowers, as if it were an oil painting.

The "pool" in the poem corresponds to the mirror, using sharply contrasting tones: gorgeous red and blue-violet, describing the "greatest delight" of the first half of the poem, but on closer look every part is composed of tiny "roses" and "little grasses."

The grandeur of the whole and the delicacy of the details, the beauty of contrast, the beauty of balance.

This is an Imagist poem; the work itself has no specific meaning, it is simply a very concrete description of a scene, and how it is understood depends on the reader's mood. It can also be interpreted as a girl who loves beauty and loves to eat, and is a little nostalgic.

It is worth mentioning that all the floral materials in this exhibition come from "Heidi and Lulu's Garden," a very large and dreamy garden located in Shuangliu. How lucky to have realized the florist's creation in a state of natural harvesting from the garden, that is, these floral materials offer more and greater room for imagination than the flower market, and are even richer in varieties than the flower markets of Europe.
