The color of the pomegranate represents the poet’s childhood. The juice of the pomegranate is a stain that dyes the poet’s carpet. The poet’s hand turned red. Therefore, the color of pomegranate represents the poet’s childhood and is an important source of material for the poet’s creation. The knife and the blood represent the poet’s youth. At this stage, he and the princess fell in love and participated in the war together, with knives and blood being the symbols of war. At the same time, because this relationship makes the poet’s heart feel like a knife, and the knife and blood are also symbols of the poet’s wounded heart. The grape foot represents the poet’s middle age. At this time, he was working as a priest in a monastery stomping grapes to make wine. In Christianity, wine is a symbol of the blood of Christ, and drinking wine represents drinking the blood of Christ, representing the connection with God. So this also represents the Christian faith of the poet in his middle age. There is a story in the Bible about Jesus giving five loaves and two fish to the victims to satisfy their hunger. So fish also represents food in Christian culture.
