A cloudless plain blue sky is like a flowerless garden.

The comparison suggests that a perfectly clear blue sky, though conventionally “nice,” can feel visually monotonous—much as a garden without flowers may be orderly but lacks color, variety, and surprise. Clouds function like blossoms: they add texture, contrast, and changing forms that invite attention and imagination. Implicitly, the quote also gestures toward a broader aesthetic lesson: what we call “perfect” conditions are not always the most interesting, and beauty often depends on irregularity, variation, and transient detail rather than uniform clarity.
