IN HAMLET, a deranged Ophelia distributes pansies, saying “these are pansies, and they are for thoughts.” This association came about because the name pansy stems from the French word "pensée", meaning “to think.” This bird mom is BUSY - three kids? Weaving baskets, too? While feathering her nest, she demands in French, "think of me". Flip the wax seal to see the pansy decoration, driving the point home again. Think of me! Pensez!
