Your words speak of the beauty of lotus as a metaphor for being enchanted.
My guide showed me a single pathetic lotus blossom growing in a concrete pond about 3 x 10' in front of the Egyptian Museum. I assume the reason the lotus was in such bad shape was because it was January and the temperature at night dropped down sometimes to near freezing.
With the new museum now open, I certainly hope the lotuses there will be more beautiful all year round.
If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
