The heart that has truly loved never forgets,
But as truly loves on to the close,
As the sunflower turns on her god when he sets,
The same look that she turned when he rose
There was once a water-nymph called Clytie who fell in love with the God of the Sun Apollo. She was so much in love that she would sit on the ground and stare up at the sun all day long. But Apollo never noticed her.
She sat all day long, upon the cold ground, following the path of the sun all day long. For nine days eating no food and taking nothing to drink, pining away.
Her limbs rooted into the ground and became the sunflower's stem, whilst her face became the flower and her golden hair the petals. The sunflower continued to follow the course of the sun throughout the day, in love with the sun just as Clytie was with Apollo
who would have known? behind the arrogance of the sunflower, its towering majesty, hides a romantic tale of unrequitted and persistent love.
