The enigmatic notes each located at the beginning of nine different subtitle pages of Birds, Beasts and Flowers have puzzled the readers. They are apparently more difficult to understand and challenging than the poems themselves. The present author analyses the note put before the poems in "Flowers", with special attention to "the almond bone." He finds that D.H. Lawrence successfully presented his view on the relationship of the soul and body from a traditional Jewish interpretation of the life and death of human being. This would be interpreted as his becoming slightly drifted from the Christian interpretation, indicative of Lawrence's tendency to be fascinated by foreign religious doctrines in his late years. The author concludes that his enigmatic expression is a verbal representation of Lawrencian Tree of Life, with his emphasis not on the morphological appearances of the Tree but on the importance of dynamic interpretation of it.
