    by Jose Garcia Villa
    Be beautiful, noble, like the antique ant,
    Who bore the storms as he bore the sun,
    Wearing neither gown nor helmet,
    though he was archbishop and soldier:
    Wore only his own flesh
    Salute characters with gracious dignity:
    Though what these are is left to
    Your own terms. Exact: the universe is
    Not so small but these will be found
    Somewhere. Exact: they will be found
    Speak with great moderation: but think
    With great fierceness, burning passion:
    Though what the ant thought
    No annuals reveal, no his descendants
    Break the seal.
    Trace the tracelessness of the ant,
    Every ant has reached this perfection.
    As he comes, so he goes,
    Flowing as water flows,
    Essential but secret like a rose.

    abstract idea.
    Interactive Discussion
    An action, person, place, word, or object
    can all have a symbolic meaning. When an
    author wants to suggest a certain mood or
    emotion, he can also use symbolism to hint
    at it, rather than just blatantly saying it.
