The language of flowers William Blake威廉.布莱克 To see a world in a grain of sand, 一沙一世界， And a heaven in a wild flower, 一花一天国， Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, 君掌盛无边， And eternity in an hour. 刹那含永劫。 Flowers have a meaning of their own.

Victorian women especially picked up the silent language that allowed them to communicate feelings and meanings. In 1884 a whole book on the subject and entitled, The Language of Flowers was published in London.
