Popular Jean Chevalier and Alain Gheerbrant Quotes

Although every flower may possess, secondarily, its own specific symbolism, for all that, flowers generally are symbols of the passive principle. The calix of a flower, like the chalice, is the receptacle of heavenly instrumentality, among the symbols of which dew and rain should be mentioned. Furthermore, the way flowers grow up out of earth and water symbolizes manifestation rising out of these passive elements.... The allegorical use of flowers is endless.
