The Votaries of the Blue FlowerThe Votaries of the Blue Flower were a loosely affiliated group which
included C S Lewis, |
| The 'Blue Flower' was a symbol drawn
from (the German Romantic author Baron Friedrich von Hardenberg) Novalis'
partially completed work 'Heinrich von Ofterdingen'. The Blue Flower
represented a transcendent reality that had to do with the richness and
meaning of life.
Whilst having difficulty expressing this certain 'quality', C S Lewis found the closest word was 'joy'. |
