A deep confession hidden within the luster

In Greek mythology, pearls are said to be formed from the dew that fell into shells when the goddess Aphrodite was born; in Persian legends, pearls are the garments woven by the gods for the morning star. These stories deeply associate pearls with ‘divinity and purity,’ making them sacred objects that transcend civilizations.Shakespeare compared pearls to “the eyes of mermaids”, 그리고 “Girl with a Pearl Earring” uses a glimmer of pearl luster to imply a forbidden sentiment. The fragility and preciousness of pearls are just like the passionate and sincere heart that is “fragile yet fearless” in love.
