Ducks?
"Your clear eye is the one absolutely beautiful thing.
I want to fill it with color and ducks..."
-Child
When I picture a child's room, I imagine the yellow ducks on the border around the room and brilliant bright pastels drenching everything in the room. I imagine a mother looking her new child in the eye and seeing the reflection of the room in the baby's eye. It's truly a beautiful vision. I can't say that this is exactly what the author wanted me to imagine but it's what I thought of. A mother thinks her child is the most beautiful thing in the world and wants nothing more than to surround that child with beautiful things to make him or her happy.
Your interpretation is interesting to me. Its nice to think of a happy beautiful out come. I didnt even think of a mother try to fill a childs life with happiness and color.
I took and interetation that a child is so beautiful and pure. Not being bias in any way so innocent.
I wrote about it in my blog. If you would like to look at it, here is the link:http://blogs.setonhill.edu/NikitaMcClellan/2009/03/child_innocence.html
