The Lotus Flower by Hans Christian Andersen.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4d3WtixKBg

In the poem Andersen establishes a contrast between the Nordic and Southern ideal of womanhood. He does so by juxtaposing the flower of the oriental lotus — a poetic representative of the Danish water lily which in Andersen’s time could be seen in almost every village pond — with the blossom of the southern pomegranate, which since antiquity has symbolised sensuality and fertility.

The Danish writer and poet Hans Christian Andersen travelled to Spain in 1862. Shortly after returning, he published a spirited travel book, In Spain, which also includes a number of quasi-sensual poems.

'The Lotus Flower' [Lotusblomsten] is one of these poems that show a lesser known side of the poet.

The video includes subtitles in Danish, English and Spanish.
