Quote by Oscar Wilde

Life has always poppies in her hands.

Life has always poppies in her hands.

Summary

This quote suggests that life is fleeting and ephemeral, much like a delicate poppy flower. Poppies are known for their vibrant colors, but they also symbolize transient beauty and the cycle of life and death. By saying that life has poppies in her hands, it implies that life holds moments of beauty and joy, but they are also fleeting and can slip away just as easily. It reminds us to appreciate and savor the beautiful moments in life, as they may not last forever.
