In contrast, the Rose goes, grows, and shows her quests whatever is outside of this civilization, entertaining them with her wilderness. Her pages merely allude to the failure of postmodern civilization but then get themselves away quickly and contemplate the things in transition, the quiet progression of those things that are different and are evolving into another world altogetheraa realm hidden away in the deserted areasathe uncultivated wilderness. The Rose invites one to contemplate the genuine and real wonders that are in a fictional world.
