Regarding a line in “Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard.”
Gray is comparing the humble village people to undiscovered gems in caves at the bottom of the ocean and to undiscovered flowers in the desert.
This stanza is about unsung heroes, like the guys buried in the churchyard without monuments or “trophies,” and both the gems and the flowers are metaphors for people who do awesome stuff that doesn’t get recognized.
