Gracefully poised
Delicately barbed
Deeply crimson
Stained with drawn blood
Time-honored symbol
Uncommon reminder
Portrait of human dilemma
Tender yet troublesome
Oblivious to convention
-- to doctrines of marketing
Contrary to common sense
-- the-world-of-the-'trouble-free'
Love is a rose
With sorrow entwined
Beautiful resurrection
Crowned with thorns
Compressed contrast
Splendor and pain
Is Christ's love
