Purity brings beauty to the most squalor of conditions

Stilled, murky waters Housing alabaster blooms sweet lotus flowers

Reminds me of that very small stone pond in front of the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. In the murky water could be seen a single lotus plant with one bloom. One small token of beauty amid the dusty square that stretched out in all directions filled with the hustle of the city. Seemingly uncaring for its worth.
