The Postcard
A postally unused card that was published by Gallery Five in 1977. The artwork was by Jane Walmsley, and the card was printed in England.
The William Blake poem 'The Lilly' is on the other side of the card. It is as follows:
'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.'
The Blake poem was published as part of his collection Songs of Experience in 1794. These short poems explore the harsh realities of late 18th. and early 19th. Century life during the time of King George III, known — ironically given the terrible social conditions of the time — as the Romantic Era.
Each poem in the “Songs of Experience” category is matched by an idealistic portrayal in Songs of Innocence. The contrast is Blake’s method of social protest.
Spelled “Lilly” in Blake’s time, The Lilly is a simple poem that at first, seems to tell us that even the most beautiful and innocent things have a dark side – but later, gives us an exception.
This could also be a metaphor for how everyone has something to protect them when loved (a rose has thorns and a sheep has horns) – but the lily is completely defenseless – therefore more vulnerable yet beautiful. The most beautiful things in life are the most vulnerable too.
