But with advancement on earth, everyone must have to enter into the world of experience, which is always painful, torturing for the soul. Innocence must show the path to the world of experience how much painful it may be for the sake of the world of better innocence, the Heaven.First published in Songs of Innocence and Experience in 1794, it is one Blake's best-known poems, while also remaining one of his most enigmatic. Genuine color plates used for medical training, some are people who have been infected others are taken from dissected parts.

This book is about a revolution in the ways that Western medical practitioners have seen the human body, and the ways in which they have known disease. I did not like the way the author grouped the descriptions of the pictures and felt that there was a dearth of explanation of the illustrations (approximate date, country of origin, and the modern disease description).

The Sick Rose by William Blake | Goodreads The Sick Rose by William Blake | Goodreads

The symbols within ‘The Sick Rose’are very important, as are the ways Blake describes these symbols. It seems to us that the dark secret lover, travelling in a stormy night stealthily found out the warmth of the ‘bed of crimson joy and destroys its life. Doctors functioning under the influence of dangerously obsessive desires, be they purely for intellectual enlightenment and eventual renown, or something far more perverse, created a dark and ugly industry.Here, in the poem “The Sick Rose’, the rose which stands for purity and innocence is ruined by the worm, the experience. This volume combines detailed illustrations of afflicted patients from some of the worlds rarest medical books, that forms a profoundly human reminder of mankinds struggle with disease.
