Abstract

William Blake’s poem, ‘The Sick Rose,” which deals with the opposition against pink versus worm and serves to denounce corruption, is passed on to the installation entitled ‘Sick Rose”, created by David Burrows and exhibited at the Cloud & Vision Exhibition 2005 , In London. The accusations of Blake’s time are transposed into those of the twentieth century and the contemporary recovery of Blake’s work in Brazil gives us clues that the poet’s radical denunciation of corruption is still valid.
