FLORAL EMBLEMS. 31 



TUESDAY. 



The symbolical leaf of Tuesday is divided 

 into the waters and the heavens, which are 

 distinguished by one half being light, and 

 the other blue or sea green. 



This day is called Tuesday after the Saxon 

 name which signifies the day of Mars, '' the 

 dreadful god of war,'' and from hence the 

 French call it Mardi. 



WEDNESDAY. 



The emblematical leaf for this day is di- 

 vided into three colours, light for the heavens, 

 blue for the waters, and green for the earth. 



" Th' imprison'd sea, that restless ebbs and flows. 

 The fluctuating fields of liquid air. 

 And the wide regions of the land, proclaim 

 The power divine, that rais'd the mighty frame." 



Blackmore.
