Bees and butterflies (“fantastic sailors”) mingle with the flowers. The wind stops, and then the garden is still.

The “seas of daffodil” are skies colored golden by the setting sun. The “fantastic sailors” are the old-fashioned seamen dressed in gorgeous garments of many colors brought from exotic lands. The sun sinks and the wharf (the earth where the sun set the scene of this colorful activity) is still.

The mention of daffodils sets the scene of a field of flowers. Fantastic sailors being bees ties in with the idea of flowers. Every detail is tied together in this interpretation]]> 2020-08-20 17:07:00 UTC https://padlet.com/bcoleman38/gtq9vsufq5m89gee/wish/689851496 Jesse Khalil https://padlet.com/bcoleman38/gtq9vsufq5m89gee/wish/689853333 I agree with this interpretation, because she uses the sea to represent the sky. Also because the ships represent clouds in her interpretation which makes a lot of sense. Since clouds in some sense sail the sky.]]> 2020-08-20 17:07:37 UTC https://padlet.com/bcoleman38/gtq9vsufq5m89gee/wish/689853333 Carlos https://padlet.com/bcoleman38/gtq9vsufq5m89gee/wish/689853907 I have feeling that it might be this one because it has a bit of deeper and clearer meaning. ]]> 2020-08-20 17:07:47 UTC https://padlet.com/bcoleman38/gtq9vsufq5m89gee/wish/689853907 https://padlet.com/bcoleman38/gtq9vsufq5m89gee/wish/689859445 2020-08-20 17:09:35 UTC https://padlet.com/bcoleman38/gtq9vsufq5m89gee/wish/689859445 https://padlet.com/bcoleman38/gtq9vsufq5m89gee/wish/689859626 2020-08-20 17:09:39 UTC https://padlet.com/bcoleman38/gtq9vsufq5m89gee/wish/689859626
