Gems, flowers, and talents can be appreciated only when they are seen.

Thomas Gray in “Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard” in the above lines laments about the unsung heroes who got buried with the time. He uses the metaphor of ‘gem’ and ‘flower’ to express the idea of unfulfilled potential which was not recognized and so were lost. As the lives of the poor and country people are lost and are buried in the country churchyard, in the same way, we ignore the best and most beautiful part of nature’s beauty.
