— Franz Kafka, From “The Castle.”

“We don’t read and write poetry because it’s cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is pulled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry , beauty , romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.”

Pomegranates have a rich symbolism across many cultures and myths. It is associated with the Greek goddess of love, Aphrodite who planted the first pomegranate tree. In ancient Rome and Persian cultures, it was considered a symbol of prosperity and fertility. In the myth of Persephone - goddess of rebirth, Hades uses pomegranates to tempt the goddess to stay in the underworld. Here the symbolism relates to death and the transition between seasons.
