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.
