Literary analysis:
In literary works, wheat often transcends its literal role as a grain to evoke a distinctive, warm, golden hue that suggests both abundance and the fragile beauty of nature. For instance, in one text the early morning light is enriched by the sight of wheat sheaves standing on gentle hills, their golden, wheat‐colored tone likened to “yellow-haired women kneeling to the sun” [1]. In another passage, the delicate imagery of “spring‐wheat” is invoked to emphasize a transient, almost ethereal quality in the landscape, merging the tactile reality of growth with a luminous, almost painterly color impression [2]. In this way, the color wheat functions as a subtle yet evocative symbol—imbuing scenes with a sense of warmth, vitality, and the perpetual cycle of renewal.
  1. It was as yet early morning, and the wheat sheaves stood on the gentle hills like yellow-haired women kneeling to the sun that was about to rise.
    — from The Heart of England by Edward Thomas
  2. Like spring-wheat, blade by blade, they break ground late; like spring-wheat, many seeds have perished in the hard winter glebe.
    — from Mardi: and A Voyage Thither, Vol. II by Herman Melville
