Literary analysis:
In literary texts the word “tulip” often steps beyond its botanical identity to evoke striking hues and moods. For example, an author compares a man’s appearance to “a great tulip in his red uniform” [1], suggesting a vivid, almost flamboyant quality that enhances his character through color imagery. At the same time, works referencing the “Black Tulip” [2][3] use the flower’s name to convey a sense of mystery and rare beauty, while mentions of a “yellow tulip” [4] or even allusions to variegated patterns [5] highlight the multifaceted, almost painterly quality of natural scenes. In these instances, the tulip becomes a symbol not just of nature but of a rich spectrum of emotional and visual tones.
  1. Dick, like a great tulip in his red uniform, turned in the middle, and Miss Beaumont, in her long yellow dress, sprawled upon him.
    — from A Mummer's Wife by George Moore
  2. 1.50 1.25 The Black Tulip.
    — from The Story of Gösta Berling by Selma Lagerlöf
  3. "Sir, the black tulip has been stolen from me," said Rosa.

  4. Didn't I say that there was a yellow tulip among the things stolen at the florist's? ELIS.
    — from Plays: Comrades; Facing Death; Pariah; Easter by August Strindberg
