| Summary | "The Stars in the Pool: A Prose Poem for Lovers" by Edna Kingsley Wallace is a prose poem written in the early 20th century. This lyrical work weaves a romantic narrative centered on themes of love, destiny, and the pursuit of beauty through the allegorical journey of its protagonists. Set against a backdrop of enchanting landscapes, the poem utilizes rich imagery and mythological elements to explore the intricacies of love and the transformative power of dreams. The story follows Flame, the son of the lord of a distant island, who embarks on a quest to find a mysterious woman of his dreams, leaving behind his beloved, Princess Roseheart. Their love is portrayed with depth, marked by longing and the tension between personal aspirations and devotion. As Flame faces various trials, he grows in self-awareness and strength, while Roseheart evolves in her understanding of love, compassion, and her own identity. Ultimately, their paths converge, bringing the lesson that true love encompasses both the splendor of dreams and the reality of shared life experiences, culminating in a realization that beauty resides within and around them, symbolized by the stars reflected in the pool.
