I’m not sure but probably gold.
Trust thyself by Ralph Waldo Emerson.
He refers that at the end the integrity of your own mind is the most sacred thing, he tries to incentive us to learn how to detect and watch the light of flashes and ideas across your mind and within it.
Emerson also teach us that In a very detailed work the thoughts come to our minds in a very detailed and alineated form. This means that the human mind is very powerful and in his own words he said that the man doesn't know what he is capable to do until he has tried it.
The poem is dedicated to the author's father who was tortured and imprisoned during the Cultural Revolution.
In the first stanza of the poem, the author describes that how his father was a school principal and one day he caught a carp and everybody in the school tasted it. The poem emphasizes the importance in Chinese culture where it represents perseverance, luck, and success. Paradoxically, Wang writes that her son is named Carp and yet he died an early death.
The carp also represents a loss of innocence and the flawed nature of people with the lines "they had tasted the carp". This stanza shows how a good memory turned into a painful one.
