The English poet Christina Rossetti wrote What Are Heavy? For each question of the poem, the poet gives two answers, one concrete and one metaphorical. It is a philosophical poem that is both beautiful and simple.
What Are Heavy?
What are heavy? Sea-sand and sorrow;
What are brief? Today and tomorrow;
What are frail? Spring blossoms and youth;
What are deep? The ocean and truth.
