Hymn to the Rose by John Duncan, 1907.
But why is this beautiful company worshipping the Rose? The Rose (exquisite and fragrant as actuality but also symbolic) has been associated with many female deities through history. From the followers of the Egyptian goddess Isis to those of the Greek Aphrodite, the Rose became eventually identified with holy Mary and her higher spiritual essence. To follow the Rose, a mystical calling, is to believe in a psychological and spiritual development transcending earthly bounds, to allow an inner unfolding that makes one complete, a unique individual yet in connection with the whole.

Из старого, но горячо любимого.
— Osiris, we have arranged this feast in your honor! Why don't you eat anything?
— I was dismembered, my parts scattered all over Egypt, then I was sewn back together and gutted, and my organs, including my stomach, were stuffed into clay jars. I don't have an appetite, probably from stress.
