satile flower. for it has been asso-
ciated with life and death. with joy
and sorrow. Herrick, the poet, refers
to its double use.

Bet for my bridal or my burial"
The Latin has it "rosamarius,'
meaning dew of the sea, since it
grows most luxuriantly near the sea-
shore. In northern England when
Christmas was the heartiest of holt
days, Rosemary decked the hall of
feasting, the roast, the boar's head,
and the wassaiI bowl. The association
with Christmas is suggested by an
old Spanish legend
