My little wild rose....
and
one of my favorite German poems:
Leise zieht durch mein Gemüt
Liebliches Geläute,
Klinge, kleines Frühlingslied,
Kling hinaus ins Weite.
Kling hinaus bis an das Haus,
Wo die Blumen sprießen,
Wenn du eine Rose schaust,
Sag, ich laß sie grüßen.
Heinrich Heine (1797-1856)
"Softly flow through my soul,
sweet sounds of love,
sing, little spring song,
peal forth into the vast distance.
Flow toward that house,
where the little violets bloom,
and when you see a rose,
give her my greetings."

"A rose is a rose is a rose"
The meaning most often attributed to this is the notion that when all is
said and done,
a thing is what it is.

Remark:
"a thing is what it is."
This is in similar vein to
Shakespeare's
'a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.'
When asked what she meant by the line, Stein
said that in the time of Homer, or of Chaucer,
"the poet could use the
name of the thing and the thing was really there."
As memory took it
over, the thing lost its identity,
and she was trying to recover that.

Gertrude Stein (February 3, 1874 – July 27, 1946) was an American novelist, poet, playwright, and art collector. Born in the Allegheny West neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and raised in Oakland, California, Stein moved to Paris in 1903, and made France her home for the remainder of her life. She hosted a Paris salon, where the leading figures of modernism in literature and art, such as Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Sinclair Lewis, Ezra Pound, and Henri Matisse, would meet.

"A rose is a rose is a rose"
The sentence "Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose." written by Gertrude Stein as part of the 1913 poem "Sacred Emily", which appeared in the 1922 book Geography and Plays. In that poem, the first "Rose" is the name of a person. Stein later used variations on the sentence in other writings, and "A rose is a rose is a rose" is among her most famous quotations, often interpreted as meaning "things are what they are", a statement of the law of identity,
"A is A". In Stein's view, the sentence expresses the fact that simply
using the name of a thing already invokes the imagery and emotions
associated with it, an idea also intensively discussed in the problem of universals debate where Peter Abelard and others used the rose
as an example concept. As the quotation diffused through her own
writing, and the culture at large, Stein once remarked, "Now listen! I’m
no fool. I know that in daily life we don't go around saying 'is a ...
is a ... is a ...' Yes, I’m no fool; but I think that in that line the
rose is red for the first time in English poetry for a hundred years.".........
