the cassandra pages: Symbols: lilies-of-the-valley

June 05, 2014

One more photo from the lake: my mom's lilies-of-the-valley, blooming away - a whole bank of them - and last year's drawings.

Still life with lilies-of-the-valley in a wedgewod pot and a Palestinian purse.

Still life with lilies-of-the-valley, wedgewood pot, and animal skull, in two versions and line weights.

I love these line drawings, Beth. How big are they?

Love the drawings

I like the photo and the first drawing, Beth.

They are so pretty. I miss them.

In the Iliad, she is described as the loveliest of the daughters of Priam (King of Troy), and gifted with prophecy. The god Apollo loved her, but she spurned him. As a punishment, he decreed that no one would ever believe her. So when she told her fellow Trojans that the Greeks were hiding inside the wooden horse...well, you know what happened.
