For Mercy has a human heart Pity, a human face; And Love, the human form divine; And Peace, the human dress.

  • Learner Resource 7 “The Divine Image” and “The Human Abstract” – a Comparison
    William Blake Learner Resource 7 “The Divine Image” and “The Human Abstract” – a comparison In the exam you are asked to compare two poems. This activity poses the following exam-type question: • Explore how Blake presents religion in “The Divine Image” and “The Human Abstract”. You should consider his use of stylistic techniques, as well as any other relevant contexts. Below are two tables to help you to find ideas for your essay. Divide yourselves into pairs: one of you is responsible for completing table one and the other is responsible for completing table two. Once you have completed your half of the table, you can either take it in turns to give feedback to the class, or swap one of your completed tables with another pair, so that you have the two halves to refer to when you write your essay. Table one: “The Human Abstract” “The Divine Image” “The Human Abstract” Context: In the Songs of Innocence – rhetorical praise of God and man and the connections between them. Reference to the ballad form, and the common hymn metre. Possible links to “The Human Abstract”, “The Divine Image”. Structure: Introduction (human interaction with the abstract qualities of Mercy, Pity etc.), development (qualities seen in human behaviour and form), elaboration (unity of those qualities and God), conclusion (man, these qualities and God are one and the same – if we live by these qualities then we are close to God). Voice: First person plural, with the possessive pronoun “our” presuming a shared belief “our father dear”. Nature of the voice – declarative sentences suggest a confidence, that this is a statement of an accepted truth about the connection between man and God.

  • The Death of God: William Blake's Version
    ll' illiam Wailing THE DEATH OF GOD: WILLIAM BLAKE'S VERSION I ~ I,!,. A LI'ITLE oVER a hundred and forty years ago, on December 17, 1825, a London lawyer named Henry Crabb Robinson paid a call on an obscure engraver who, despite a lifetime of unremitting toil, was living, in his sixty-eighth year, in abject poverty. "I found him", Robinson tells us, "in a small room which seems to be both a working-room and a bed-room. Nothing could exceed the squalid air both of the apartment and his dress; but in spite of dirt-I might say filth-an air of natural gentility is diffused over him; and his wife, not­ withstanding the same offensive character of her dress and appearance, has a good expression of countenance." Looking around for a chair, Robinson was rather dismayed to discover that the only one available seemed ready to fall apart when he touched it, and he extemporized by sitting on the bed. More disturbingly, the conversation which ensued struck him as so strange that when he had returned home he decided that the engraver was hopelessly dis­ ordered in his thinking-disordered, in fact, to the point of madness. And so, in a gesture of dismissal of the whole experience, the London lawyer wrote in his diary: "I fear I shall not make any progress in ascertaining his opinions and feelings,-but there being really no system or connection in his mind, all his future conversation will be but varieties of wildness and incongruity." Less than two years later the engraver died, singing on his deathbed a hymn of joy of his own composing.

And he laughing said to me. Pipe a song about a Lamb: So I piped with merry chear, Piper pipe that song again— So I piped, he wept to hear. Drop thy pipe thy happy pipe Sing thy songs of happy chear, 2 So I sung the same again While he wept with joy to hear. Piper sit thee down and write In a book that all may read— So he vanish’d from my sight, And I pluck’d a hollow reed. And I made a rural pen, And I stain’d the water clear, And I wrote my happy songs, Every child may joy to hear 3 THE SHEPHERD How sweet is the Shepherds sweet lot, From the morn to the evening he strays: He shall follow his sheep all the day And his tongue shall be filled with praise. For he hears the lambs innocent call. And he hears the ewes tender reply. He is watchful while they are in peace, For they know when their Shepherd is nigh. 4 THE ECCHOING GREEN The Sun does arise, And make happy the skies. The merry bells ring, To welcome the Spring.

"1 "Then come home, my children, the sun is gone down, And the dews of night arise; Your spring and your day are wasted in play, · And your winter and night in disguise. "1 Recent researches have shown the special importance and significance of childhood in romantic poetry. Blake, being a harbinger of romanticism, had engraved childhood as a state of unalloyed joy in his Songs of Innocence. And among the romantics, be was perhaps the first to have discovered childhood. His inspiration was of course the Bible where he had seen the image of the innocent, its joy and all pure image of little, gentle Jesus. That image ignited the very ·imagination of Blake, the painter and engraver. And with his illuntined mind, he translated that image once more in his poetry, Songs of Innocence. Among the records of an early meeting of the Blake Society on 12th August, 1912 there occurs the following passage : 20 "A pleasing incident of the occasion was the presence of a very pretty robin, which hopped about unconcernedly on the terrace in front of the house and among the members while the papers were being read..
