'Violetta'


In Verdi's La Traviata, Violetta is a courtesan — a "fallen woman" by the standards of her society. She is also the most spiritually clear-eyed person in the opera. She loves Alfredo truly. She gives him up to protect his family's honor. She dies of tuberculosis while the people who judged her watch. The opera condemns no one explicitly. It simply shows you what happened and who was damaged by the rules and who was not.

Viola: the violet. The most unassuming flower. It grows in shade, low to the ground, rarely the tallest thing in the garden. Edward Bach chose it for the remedy of those who are highly capable but prefer to work alone — deeply independent spirits who do not seek the spotlight. The flower of quiet power. The woman who does not need to be seen to know her own worth.

This is for the woman of quiet power who has always known her own worth, regardless of what the room decided.
