Solution
Like the Milky Way , the flowers are roughly concentrated in a line that seem to stretch as far as the eye can see (“never-ending”). The flowers line the shore (“margin”) of a bay of the lake, which must be a relatively large lake.The Milky Way appears to be a band that has more stars and a brighter appearance than the night sky around it. It’s not a perfectly clear line, but more like a fuzzy approximation of a line. We imagine the same effect with the flowers. It’s not as if there are no flowers outside the shore of the lake, but most of them are concentrated on the shore. So to a large extent the comparison is apt.
