A blank helpless sort of face, rather like a rose just before you drench it with D.D.T.

A blank helpless sort of face, rather like a rose just befor

Summary

This quote portrays the image of a face that appears vulnerable and devoid of expression, comparable to a rose before it is sprayed with a harmful chemical like D.D.T. The description emphasizes a sense of powerlessness, as if the face is waiting to be overwhelmed by an external force. This analogy implies the impending destruction or harm that could befall someone who feels defenseless and exposed.
