THE ORIENTAL LANGUAGE, AND 
understood to say, ‘ Think of me ;’ but 
when offered pendant, it means ‘ Forget 
me.’ And thus the Amaryllis, which is 
the emblem of pride, may be made to 
express ‘ My pride is humbled,’ or, 
‘ Your pride is checked,’ by holding it 
downwards, either to the left or the right, 
as the sense requires. In the same man¬ 
ner, the Wall-flower, which is made the 
emblem of fidelity in misfortune, if pre¬ 
sented with the stalk upwards, would in¬ 
sinuate that the person was considered 
no friend to the unfortunate.”
