Summary/Abstract: The study seeks to reveal the meaning underlying the usage of the lily in Alexandru Philippide’s poetry. Its frequency betrays the poet’s appetence for this ambiguous flower. The lily stands between the concepts of life and death, of purity and darkness. The royal flower is very often reflected in Philippide’s poems, functioning as an avatar of the poet.
