The second pearl was green in colour. Like
the grasslands of Trogriffon on a frosty
morning or the vale of Bigodou, in the
October sunshine. In this pearl could be
found a reflection of the countryside with its
flowers, animal life and all the gentleness of
things. By bringing this pearl to the Son of
God, the King wanted to make a presentation
of all his earthly possessions, not only his own
wealth but also the whole of creation ;
everything he could survey from his keep
overlooking the waters and admire at leisure.
The King thought to himself that if the
swirling of the sea was so powerful and the
sunsets so magnificent between Kerrec-Hir
and the Ile de la Vierge, how much more
sumptuous still were the shoals of of fish
with their stripes of gold and silver swimming
amongst the silken algae swaying like
banners in the wind among shining forgotten
treasures. The pearl with the greenish tinges
sang of the splendours of the visible and
invisible world, and the King wanted to give it
because with this pearl he was giving back to
the Creator love for love.
