- Student Commentary:
- The frontispiece for the For the Sexes version of The Gates of Paradise (1968 facsimile) is revised from the For Children version. A child still lies sleeping inside of a tightly wrapped cocoon. The cocoon perches on a single leaf. Above that leaf is another, upon which a caterpillar watches over the resting child. This version, however, has no steaks of rain falling down, in keeping with the addition of Blake’s lines: “The Suns Light when he unfolds it / Depends on the Organ that beholds it.”
