THE HAUNTING MELONCHOLY OF RED ROSES; why are we obsessed with them?
Whenever our eyes land on a red rose, we are in an instant, grasped by an irresistible compulsion to pluck it. We cut it off from the bush it spent its whole life growing in and bring it right up to our nose, inhaling its sweet fragrance. All at the cost of getting pricked by its thorns, but somehow it doesn’t bother us.
