A flag is a symbol of a country. A country can have more than one symbol. For instance, an eagle is a symbol of the U.S., and the maple leaf is a symbol of Canada.

A cross is the symbol of Christianity, and a Star of David is the symbol of Judaism. An arrow is a symbol of direction or movement. A shining sun is sometimes used as a symbol of happiness. A heart is a symbol of love.

In symbolism, a word is more powerful than a picture. For example, the name "Rome" conjures up associations of empire and history that a picture of the city itself does not. A photograph of the Eiffel tower may represent Paris, but the name "Paris" represents cosmopolitanism, cuisine, love, and much more. In these cases, a word may be worth a thousand pictures.

Symbols work like images that have meaning added to them. A rose is just a flower, until it is one of a bunch given as a present. Then it signifies love, passionate if the rose is red, chaste if it is white. When it appears in a poem by William Blake, however, it becomes more complex: Yeah Dude! The Sick Rose

O Rose, thou art sick.

The invisible worm

That flies in the night

In the howling storm

Has found out thy bed

Of crimson joy,

And his dark secret love

Does thy life destroy.

By the way, i dont know much about computers.

At first this poem appears to be about a rose and an aphid or a caterpillar, but even a non-gardener knows that aphids are not invisible. Once the worm is seen as an abstraction, the rose is too, and it can be interpreted according to conventional associations such as love, faith, hope, tender emotions, youthful optimism; the list can extend as far as the reader's imagination and ingenuity can take it.

An owl symbolises wisdom

The phoenix symbolises rebirth

The dove symbolises peace

Fire represents anger or safety

water-life

white-life

yellow-violent/decay

rose-love
