The following figures or netaphora
on the Union of Boiling Water with
India and Celon Tea, must be Included
In the poem.
1. A TI;aspoonful of Ceylon and In
dia Tea is like a maiden's heart, pure
and unsullied.
2. The boiling water represents the
man. The warmth of his love extracts
and sets free the strength and sweet
ness of the maiden's, heart and thus as
similates all her goodness and purity.
The water must be boiling (carry on the
metaphor) or the true essenevs Is not
extracted.
3. The Teapot Is the altar where the
marriage ceremony Is performed; In
other words, five minutes' Infusion or
ceremony make the two Into one life.
4. The liquid tea Is the married lit?,
free from, bitterness, wholesome, re
freshing, and two In one goes forth do
ing good to all; soothing, comforting
and Invigorating.
5. Sugar and cream are lllo- riches
and luxury. To many, life Is Incom
plete without them though some think
that they spoil its fragrance.
6. All other teas being soiled by tho
touch of many unclean hands (her
metaphor), can only make unhappy
unions resulting In nerve disturbance
and reriulslon.'
