An ant on the tablecloth
Ran into a dormant moth
Of many times his size.
He showed not the least surprise.
His business wasn't with such.
He gave it scarcely a touch,
And was off on his duty run.
Yet if he encountered one
Of the hive's enquiry squad
Whose work is to find out God
And the nature of time and space,
He would put him onto the case.
Ants are a curious race;
One crossing with hurried tread
The body of one of their dead
Isn't given a moment's arrest-
Seems not even impressed.
But he no doubts report to any
With whom he crosses antennae,
And they no doubt report
To the higher up at court.
Then word goes forth in Formic:
"Death's come to Jerry McCormic,
Our selfless forager Jerry.
Will the special Janizary
Whose office it is to bury
The dead of the commissary
Go bring him home to his people.
Lay him in state on a sepal.
Wrap him for shroud in a petal.
Embalm him with ichor of nettle.
This is the word of your Queen."
I don't understand the poem Departmental by Robert Frost. Do you?????

What you have to see is that the ant is an analogy - for ant, read soldier. The soldier dies for his country without questioning the authority that sends him there and who will bury him with great pomp and circumstance once he's dead.
This is a good explanation of the poem: http://www.articlemyriad.com/211.htm

Could you identify this flower? sorry i know i asked this before but this time i have pictures!?
Ok so i have this flower project where i need to key out and then press flowers for my Highschool. I found this one flowerand it is about 1 and a half feet tall, it has red leaves that when you look lower down into the stalk there is green. it has tiny white flowers that you cant see hardly unless you look through a magnifying glass...I am not certain on the following info!:
i am pretty sure it has...:5 petals, more than two sepals
oh and i live in northern california and the flower was in my backyard among easter lillies and ferns and other various wildflowers and grasses. it is in mostly shade but it is out int he open...and...i picked it today so it is out in the spring and in april...
here is a picture of it:

here is one of the leaves up close:
http://s304.photobucket.com/albums/nn186...
here is the flowers sort of up close:

Could you identify this flower? sorry i know i asked this before but this time i have pictures!?
I posted on your other question, and there are links to local wildflower ID sites. BUT off of the top of my head, it looks like a member of the carrot family, Apiaceae (although it is not a carrot, sorry!), which was formerly known as Umbelliferaceae. If it smells nice when you crush the leaves it is probably an herb which is naturalized, in which case I would look up "coriander" or 'chervil" and explore their genuses.
Edit: It may be a wild chervil. If it's not, it's probably in the same genus. It's hard to tell with fuzzy pictures.
Wild chervil: Chaerophyllum procumbens
Reply:could be a type of angiosperm {monocot}...A plant that produces fruits....Ive seen the leaves before but the pics are kind of fuzzy.
Reply:Haha! Thats quite scary ending up on another question. Anyway...Anthriscus sylvestris? I don't think the red on the leaves is normal. Looks like a nutrient deficiency possibly.
