THE SYMBOL OF THE BLUE FLOWER

Originating with the poetry of Novalis, the image of the blue flower was used by German romantic poets of the 18th and 19th centuries to symbolize the ongoing search for artistic perfection.

It evolved into an emblem of hope; a symbol for the simultaneous end to and beginning of all things, for reinvention and reincarnation, for the idea that after failing time again, we can keep returning, each time having an opportunity to do things a little less badly.
