This one has the bee. ☺️
Two bold magenta-plum clover blooms, every single petal hand-cut and layered in collage, green leaves scattered across white - and one small, important bee, her wings rendered in delicate vellum so they catch the light just so.
In the poem, Dickinson observes that the bee doesn't concern herself with the clover's lineage. Clover is clover. It is aristocracy simply by being what it is. I love that. There's something quietly reassuring about a poet noticing that beauty doesn't need a pedigree.
A small piece with a big, gentle kind of confidence.

From "The Pedigree of Honey" by Emily Dickinson
The Pedigree of Honey
Does not concern the Bee -
A Clover, any time, to him
Is Aristocracy -
