THE LILLY
~by William Blake
The modest Rose puts forth a thorn:
The humble Sheep, a threat’ning horn:
While the Lilly white, shall in Love delight,
Nor a thorn nor a threat stain her beauty bright.
"These jewel-like paintings intuitively fuse different aesthetic traditions, folk art and old master, with natural grace and an uncanny quality that may be a species of magic." —American Arts Quarterly
