In both versions, after the poppies exchange above, Henry goes on to talk about an old love affair. I read the more common twenty chapter version. There is the thirteen chapter version based on the story’s original 1890 publication in Lippincott’s Monthly Magazine, and a later twenty chapter “toned down” revision, published in 1891. “Life has always poppies in her hands.”Ī brief digression here: there are two versions of The Picture of Dorian Gray. “I must sow poppies in my garden,” Dorian says, as he grapples with the knowledge that his cruelty to Sibyl Vane caused her suicide. Opium comes from poppies, and poppies can symbolize forgetfulness and consolation. So it’s worth noticing that at Dorian’s first public appearance after he murders Basil Hallward he wears a button-hole of Parma violets. Lord Henry once says: “I once wore nothing but violets all through one season, as a form of artistic mourning for a romance that would not die.” And when Dorian becomes obsessed for a while with perfumes, he wonders “what there was in frankincense that made one mystical, and in ambergris that stirred one’s passions, and in violets that woke the memory of dead romances…” Violets are easy in the novel, they explicitly symbolize dead love. Roses we covered a bit in Part One, but there’s more. In this post, we’ll look at the repeated use of a few specific flowers, and try to connect them to flower symbology, both Victorian floriography and the meanings that Wilde himself invests into the flowers.
In Part One, we looked generally at the use of flowers in The Picture of Dorian Gray.
