Tautology is A=>A. If it’s the color violet, it’s violet.
If it’s a violet flower, it is the color violet. A=>B.
If it's not the color violet, it’s not a violet flower. That’s modus tollens.
If it is a violet flower, then it is that color. That’s modus ponen.
Violet is violet. Tautology. A=>A
Violet flowers are violet. A=>B
It'd also be equivocation to state the Color is the Flower.
Not all violets are violet; or some violets are blue, makes the statement categorical.
Therefore, "Violets are violet" becomes an inductive argument, because it's based on the probability of a violet being violet.
"Violets aren't blue," and abductive argument would hypothesize said speaker probably never has seen a blue violet, or lives in a continent outside of the United States, or outside of the Eastern part of it, or doesn't know such a flower exists.
The poet, though, relates violet as being blue, like the poet relates a rainbow as being purple, either through etymological or lyrical depth: the poem originates in England, so the word is being used in a poetic shade of meaning, and not related to the Blue Violet found in the Eastern United States. And this is how creative writing works.
Mark 13:51Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord. 52Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
