Zu Zu's Petals?

Zu Zu's Petals?

I am not familiar with the majority of Shakespeare's work, although I have written essay's, on both, "Hamlet," and a Shakespearean Sonnet.

I did try to research these lyric's in Prince's, "All the midnights."
"Like Zu Zu's Petals, a wonderful life, the two of us shall leave, the children of the future, all of the spiritual food they need."
I do not need to know who this character is, to realize that this line is, the kindest lyric Prince has ever written. Which is specifically why I Love Him. Not to mention all of the sexy fringe benefits...that most likely tag along. cool

Does anyone know, The play this Shakespearean character is from? And if so, could you describe this character's trait's and intentions? If there is a member here, and you reply. Thank You, for your time.

It's from the play "It's A Wonderful Life" one of Shakespeare's lesser known tragedies. Zu Zu is a small girl, the daughter of the main character, and her main traits are cuteness, and displaying flu-like symptoms including a high temperature. Her intentions are to get better, give her dad some petals and tell him about bells ringing and angels getting their wings.

Ha Ha, on "It's a Wonderful Life..." And I suppose I'll go looking around myself for the answer, it's just that I have already been through tons of Shakespeare stuff and I can't find it! I've read a lot of character lists. I want to read the play.

There's gotta be an English Major around here.

As explained, it has nothing to do with Shakespeare, and there's nothing to suggest that it should have.

(BTW, you don't need an 'English Major' to put ZuZu in a seach engine)

George Bailey: Now, will you do something for me?
Zuzu Bailey: What?
George Bailey: Will you try and get some sleep?
Zuzu Bailey: I'm not sleepy. I want to look at my flower.
George Bailey: I know, I know, but you just go to sleep, and then you can dream about it, and it'll be a whole garden.
Zuzu Bailey: It will?
George Bailey: Uh-huh.
ALT+PLS+RTN: Pure as a pane of ice. It's a gift.

Now I realize, that that was the little girl's real name...and I'm laughing, cuz' I didn't believe KeithyT...I chose to believe the joker that said is was from a Shakespeare play last year.

Cuz' looking up Zu Zu...ends up to be a bunch of flower shops.
