Give
the substance of the poem "The Sick Rose".
In
the poem "The Sick Rose" the poet says that the rose is sick. An
invisible worm has crept into its bed in a howling storm and under the cover of
night. The dark secret love of this worm has destroyed the life of the rose. As
a result, the rose looks pale.
In
the poem "The Sick Rose" William Blake gives a complex vision of love
symbolized by rose. The theme of the poem is not merely about a rose losing its
colour gradually after being attacked by a worm. While the rose symbolizes
innocence, the worm symbolizes the Devil. The rose becomes destroyed by the
worm's dark secret love. The theme of the poem therefore suggests the
destruction of love by selfishness, killing of innocence by experience and the
end of real love by social love. The secrecy of love is a disease that destroys
life.
Rose
is a conventional symbol of love and beauty. Poets through the ages have
imagined the similarity between a beautiful girl and a sweet rose.
Traditionally, qualities and virtues like innocence, purity and modesty are
attached with the rose. In fact rose exists as one of the most beautiful
natural creations.
