Symbols 19th post


Definition: Symbols is something such as a particular mark that represents some piece of information.

Example

“A Red, Red Rose” by Robert Burns, 1869

O, my luve’s like a red, red rose

That's newly sprung in June

O, my luve’s like the melodie

That's sweetly play’d in tune

As fair art thou, my bonie lass

So deep in luve am I

And I will luve thee still, my Dear

Till a' the seas gang dry

Till a' the seas gang dry, my Dear

And the rocks melt wi’ the sun!

O I will luve thee still, my Dear

While the sands o' life shall run

And fare the weel, my only love!

And fare the well awhile!

And I will come again, my love.

Tho it were ten thousand mile!

Significant: Even though we have many ways of modern communication, symbolism still plays a very significant role in our daily lives. Some symbols have deep significance to us or to others, depending on beliefs and personal lifestyle.
