2. "[Janie] was stretched on her back beneath the pear tree soaking in the alto chant of the visiting bees, the gold of the sun and the panting breath of the breeze when the inaudible voice of it all came to her. She saw a dust-bearing bee sink into the sanctum of a bloom; the thousand sister-calyxes arch to meet the love embrace and the ecstatic shiver of the tree from root to tiniest branch creaming in every blossom and frothing with delight. So this was a marriage! She had been summoned to behold a revelation. Then Janie felt a pain remorseless sweet that left her limp and languid." (page 11).
During this time under the pear tree Janie started to experience loving feeling. She was dazed and confused with no real idea in what she was doing and where she was going; she was blissful. She starts noticing the little things around her and relates them to love and marriage and what not. She then later goes on an expresses these feelings to a young boy known as Johnny Taylor. These feelings of love and lust overcame Janie to the point that she had to kiss this boy. The tree and all of nature symbolizes what she was feeling in this passage, yet Janie could not control it. Ordinarily she would have no kissed this boy, but the tree mad her feel this way.
