There is a women gasping for her life while trying to escape from a rose in both of the illustrations that are set for one, individual poem. Most roses represent positively-themed symbolism depending on their colour. For example, the universal symbol for a red rose is love. In relation, the two colours used in each of the pictures are deep red/crimson and white, which are not typical rose colour choices. The deep red rose is used in the original illustration of the poem and it symbolizes unconscious beauty. William Blake may uses this colour because the woman that is trying to escape from the rose, may only be internally beautiful. The woman may be very young, grotesque or unsightly. The deep red rose represents the woman because it is the only available colour around her, so it stands out and defines her. Also, the woman is shaded white, which symbolizes purity and youth. She seems to be getting captivated by the crimson colour. The woman is losing her innocence, cleanliness and peace. The white rose is presented in the final illustration for the poem which symbolizes innocence and purity, which is the same symbolism as the colour white and the woman. She is staying the same shade from the original picture and now matches the colour of the white rose. It is portrayed as if the woman is fighting off the crimson colour in the previous picture and now is gaining her innocence and peace back. Overall, the rose symbolizes an innocent woman who is now forced to live with the punishment of an act.

Diamonds come in several different color shades such as, yellow, blue, green, or pink. One reason why a Diamond has different colors is through the processes involving heat and radiation.
