"By the prickling of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes"

[Primalclaws1974]

I had always interpreted that phrase to mean thorns. Thorns always make me think of roses. Roses are so sweet-smelling, and so atheistically appeasing. If you eat them, the vitamin C might be life-sustaining. Yet, many roses also have the thorns. Oftentimes beautiful women, that are inherently evil, are caricatured as a rose. Is a rose a good or evil presence to you?

Some of my roses have thorns, some don't. It doesn't matter to me, I love them all In my opinion roses are the most beautiful, elegant and exquisite plants in the whole world

They are beautiful and smell good, but in my humble opinion there are less pretty, but better smelling flowers out there. I think that lilies, especially Easter lilies have a sweeter smell. Lilacs, although technically not a flower, but from a tree, are probably the best smelling flower of all. I am always disappointed when they die. It seems to quick.
