Literary notes about daffodil (AI summary)

In literature, “daffodil” is sometimes employed as a vibrant color that evokes the fresh brilliance and gentle warmth of spring. Writers use its hue to conjure images of soft, golden yellows merging with other delicate tones. For instance, one poet describes how “daffodil and primrose tints melt into each other,” creating a scene imbued with ethereal light and tender transformation [1]. In another work, the “spendthrift splendour of daffodil and crimson” paints a striking contrast between the dark hills and a burst of lively color, emphasizing both natural exuberance and ephemeral beauty [2]. Such uses illustrate how the color “daffodil” has come to symbolize renewal, optimism, and the fleeting charm of the season.
  1. Grave evening purples steal over the land; in the sky, and reflected in the faithful waters, daffodil and primrose tints melt into each other.
    — from The Swing of the Pendulum by Frances Mary Peard
  2. Beyond it the hills were dark against a spendthrift splendour of daffodil and crimson.
    — from Rainbow Valley by L. M. (Lucy Maud) Montgomery
