Answer:
The lily is called the plant and flower of light in the poem, ‘It is not growing like a tree’ written by Ben Jonson. The poet satirically compares human life with that of the life of an oak tree and a lily plant.
Explanation:
- He wishes human life to be bright like how the lily blooms in the daytime and spreads the brightness.
- He feels that a long meaningless life is like that of a huge oak tree growing for many years and lives long without any use.
- He feels life should be meaningful, peaceful, praiseworthy, filled with virtue, love and happiness even though it’s short like that of the short-lived lily flower blooms that is serene, beautiful, gives eternal happiness and peacefulness and spreads the light to whoever sees it.
