  • William Blake “The Chimney Sweeper” 1 When My Mother Died I
    William Blake “The Chimney Sweeper” 1 “The Chimney Sweeper” 2 When my mother died I was very young. A little black thing among the snow: And my father sold me while yet my tongue Crying weep, weep, in notes of woe! Could scarcely cry “ ‘weep! ‘weep! ‘weep! ‘weep!” Where are thy father & mother? say? So your chimneys I sweep & in soot I sleep. They are both gone up to the church to pray. There’s little Tom Dacre, who cried when his head, Because I was happy upon the heath, That curl’d like a lamb’s back, was shav’d: so I said: And smil’d among the winters snow: “Hush, Tom! never mind it, for when your head’s bare They clothed me in the clothes of death, You know that the soot cannot spoil your white hair.” And taught me to sing the notes of woe. And so he was quiet & that very night, And because I am happy, & dance & sing, As Tom was a-sleeping, he had such a sight! They think they have done me no injury: That thousands of sweepers, Dick, Joe, Ned & Jack, And are gone to praise God & his Priest & King Were all of them lock’d up in coffi ns of black. Who make up a heaven of our misery. And by came an Angel who had a bright key, And he open’d the coffi ns & set them all free; Then down a green plain leaping, laughing, they run, And wash in a river, and shine in the Sun. Then naked & white, all their bags left behind, They rise upon clouds and sport in the wind; And the Angel told Tom, if he’d be a good boy, 1 Songs of Innocence He’d have God for his father & never want joy.

Ehrstine is one of the familiar new breed of academic­ book­producers, whose business is not scholarship but novel thesis­weaving* Having assimilated certain ideas and critical tech­ niques, they apply them ruthlessly to any work that has hitherto­been fortunate enough to escape such attentions. The process is simple and: the result—that of book­production—is infallible. If the poor little poems protest while struggling in their Procrustean bed, one covers their noise with bland asser­' 1" tions and continues to mutilate them. Eventually they satisfy one's preconcep" tions. Unfortunately, they may also impose on other people. In revewing such books one must blame mainly the publishers and their advisors; secondly the universities for their incredibly lax assessment and training of postgraduate students; thirdly the authors, who are usually dupes of their own'1 processes, for rushing into print without consult!ng the best scholars In their field.

The twenty-third psalm has been offered as comfort to the sick and the grieving for thousands ofyears now, with its image ofGod as the good shepherd and the soul beloved ofGod as the protected sheep. This psalm, and such equally well-known passages as Isaiah's "He shall feed his flock as a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs in his arms" (40. 11), together with the specifically Christian version: "I am the good shepherd" (John 10. 11, 14), have obviously affected the whole pastoral tradition in European literature. Among othereffects the conceptofGod as shepherd has allowed for development of the protective implications of classical pastoral.

  • Inseparable Interplay Between Poetry and Picture in Blake's Multimedia Art
    PETER HEATH All Text and No Image Makes Blake a Dull Artist: Inseparable Interplay Between Poetry and Picture in Blake's Multimedia Art W.J.T. Mitchell opens his book Blake's Composite Art by saying that “it has become superfluous to argue that Blake's poems need to be read with their accompanying illustrations” (3); in his mind, the fact that Blake's work consists of both text and image is obvious, and he sets out to define when and how the two media function independently of one another. However, an appraisal of prominent anthologies like The Norton Anthology of English Literature and Duncan Wu's Romanticism shows that Mitchell's sentiment is not universal, as these collections display Blake's Songs of Innocence and Experience as primarily poetic texts, and include the illuminated plates for very few of the works.1 These seldom-presented pictorial accompaniments suggests that the visual aspect is secondary; 1 The Longman Anthology of British Literature features more of Blake's illuminations than the Norton and Romanticism, including art for ten of Blake's Songs. It does not include all of the “accompanying illustrations,” however, suggesting that the Longman editors still do not see the images as essential. at the EDGE http://journals.library.mun.ca/ate Volume 1 (2010) 93 clearly anthology editors, who are at least partially responsible for constructing canons for educational institutions, do not agree with Mitchell’s notion that we obviously must (and do) read Blake’s poems and illuminations together. Mitchell rationalizes the segregated study of Blake by suggesting that his “composite art is, to some extent, not an indissoluble unity, but an interaction between two vigorously independent modes of expression” (3), a statement that in fact undoes itself.

It will turn in time into a dungeon of Ulro for her, by the law of Blake's dialectic, for "where man is not, nature is barren"and The] has refused to become man. The pleasures of reading The Book of Thel, once the poem is understood, are very nearly unique among the pleasures of litera­ ture. Though the poem ends in voluntary negation, its tone until the vehement last section is a technical triumph over the problem of depicting a Beulah world in which all contraries are equally true. Thel's world is precariously beautiful; one false phrase and its looking-glass reality would be shattered, yet Blake's diction re­ mains firm even as he sets forth a vision of fragility. Had Thel been able to maintain herself in Experience, she might have re­ covered Innocence within it. The poem's last plate shows a serpent guided by three children who ride upon him, as a final emblem of sexual Generation tamed by the Innocent vision. The mood of the poem culminates in regret, which the poem's earlier tone prophe­ sied. VISIONS OF THE DAUGHTERS OF ALBION The heroine of Visions of the Daughters of Albion ( 1793), Oothoon, is the redemption of the timid virgin Thel.

  • William Blake's “The Little Vagabond” and Organized Religion
    International Journal of English Literature and Social Sciences, 5(2) Mar-Apr 2020 |Available online: https://ijels.com/ William Blake’s “The Little Vagabond” and Organized Religion Sun Shuting English Department, North China Electric Power University, China Abstract—This article is an analysis of William Blake’s poem “The Little Vagabond” from the angle of Blake’s views on organized religion. The article identifies three main themes of the poem; happiness, the sacred and the profane and assesses the tension between them. The article assesses the tension between these three in the poem to show Blake’s criticism of organized religion, later developed in his prophetic books. The little vagabond unwittingly identifies a dichotomy of organized religion in its inability to combine happiness with the sacred. Its strictures against happiness make happiness profane. As happiness is exiled to only keep company with the profane, the boy innocently suggests making the sacred the profane. Blake develops these ideas in molding his character of Urizon, the cold lawgiver, father of stern and somber organized religion. Keywords— Christianity, organized religion, Songs of Innocence and Experience, The Little Vagabond, William Blake. I. INTRODUCTION of the poems also hint at the vulnerability of Innocence and “The Little Vagabond” is a William Blake poem of 1794.

  • Introduction
    Introduction The notes which follow are intended for study and revision of a selection of Blake's poems. About the poet William Blake was born on 28 November 1757, and died on 12 August 1827. He spent his life largely in London, save for the years 1800 to 1803, when he lived in a cottage at Felpham, near the seaside town of Bognor, in Sussex. In 1767 he began to attend Henry Pars's drawing school in the Strand. At the age of fifteen, Blake was apprenticed to an engraver, making plates from which pictures for books were printed. He later went to the Royal Academy, and at 22, he was employed as an engraver to a bookseller and publisher. When he was nearly 25, Blake married Catherine Bouchier. They had no children but were happily married for almost 45 years. In 1784, a year after he published his first volume of poems, Blake set up his own engraving business. Many of Blake's best poems are found in two collections: Songs of Innocence (1789) to which was added, in 1794, the Songs of Experience (unlike the earlier work, never published on its own). The complete 1794 collection was called Songs of Innocence and Experience Shewing the Two Contrary States of the Human Soul. Broadly speaking the collections look at human nature and society in optimistic and pessimistic terms, respectively - and Blake thinks that you need both sides to see the whole truth. Blake had very firm ideas about how his poems should appear. Although spelling was not as standardised in print as it is today, Blake was writing some time after the publication of Dr.

  • William Blake (1757-1827)
    William Blake (1757-1827) Poet, Painter, & Printer A radical thinker (called insane by some) with a strong interest in religion, albeit not orthodox religion. • Published together in 1794. • The Songs of Experience are darker, and often echo the Songs of Innocence in contrast. For example, Songs of Innocence contains “The Lamb” & Songs of Experience includes “The Tyger.” • The work reflects the period’s interest in childhood, nostalgia, and transformation (going from one state of being to another). It also shows some attention to those suffering in the midst of the industrial revolution. THE TYGER Tyger Tyger, burning bright, In the forests of the night; What immortal hand or eye, Could frame thy fearful symmetry? In what distant deeps or skies Burnt the fire of thine eyes? On what wings dare he aspire? What the hand, dare sieze the fire? And what shoulder, & what art, Could twist the sinews of thy heart? And when thy heart began to beat, What dread hand? & what dread feet? What the hammer? what the chain, In what furnace was thy brain? What the anvil? what dread grasp, Dare its deadly terrors clasp! When the stars threw down their spears And water'd heaven with their tears: Did he smile his work to see? Did he who made the Lamb make thee? Tyger,Tyger burning bright, In the forests of the night: What immortal hand or eye, Dare frame thy fearful symmetry? A few thoughts Blake’s Tyger brings to mind: • People view things from their own perspective. • What people say (and how they say it) often says more about themselves than what they mean to say.

  • 'O Rose Thou Art Sick': Floral Symbolism in William Blake's Poetry
    ‘O Rose Thou Art Sick’: Floral Symbolism in William Blake’s Poetry Noelia Malla1 ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Available Online March 2014 The primary aim of this paper is to analyse the symbolic implications of Key words: floral imagery in William Blake’s poetry. More specifically, this study William Blake; explores the process of floral (re)signification of William Blake’s Songs of Songs of Innocence and of Innocence (1789) and Songs of Experience (1794) as case studies. Since Experience; “Without contraries [there] is no progression” (Marriage of Heaven and The Sick Rose; Hell, plate 3), it can be argued that the Songs represent contrary aspects floral imagery. of the human condition that far from contradicting each other, establish a static contrast of shifting tensions and revaluation of the flower-image not only as a perfect symbol of the “vegetable” life rooted to the Earth but also as a figure longing to be free. In some sense at some level, the poetic- prophetic voice asserts in the Songs of Experience the state of corruption where man has fallen into. Ultimately, this study will explore how the failure to overcome the contrast that is suggested in the Songs will be deepened by the tragedy of Thel, which is symbolized by all unborn forces of life, all sterile seeds as an ultimate means of metaphorical regeneration throughout Poetry which constitutes in itself the Poet Prophet’s own means of transcending through art. William Blake (1757-1827) was the first English poet to work out the revolutionary structure of imagery that (re)signifies through the Romantic poetry.
