With his seed already sown in her womb, he pledges that her “swarthy” offspring will bear not only his genetic signet but also labor in subservience to him, the colonial master. Bromion himself encompasses everything Oothoon is not—he is a white male in the act of colonization while she is a female lashed to the identity of America, which is ethnically and politically subservient. Written in an age of burgeoning political and social radicalism, Visions nonetheless fails to conclude with the triumphant victory of Oothoon,

  • April 26,1973 in the Four Zoas Blake Wages Mental ,/Ur Against Nature Land Mystery, Reason and Tyranny
    NATURE, nEASON, and ETERNITY: Images of the Divine Vision in The }1'our Zoas by Cathy Shaw English Honors }i;ssay April 26,1973 In The Four Zoas Blake wages mental ,/Ur against nature land mystery, reason and tyranny. As a dream in nine nights, the 1..Jorld of The Four Zoas illustrates an unreal world which nevertheless represents the real t-lorld to Albion, the dreamer. The dreamer is Blake's archetypal and eternal man; he has fallen asleep a~ong the floitlerS of Beulah. The t-lorld he dreams of is a product of his own physical laziness and mental lassitude. In this world, his faculties vie 'tvi th each other for pOi-vel' until the ascendence of Los, the imaginative shapeI'. Los heralds the apocalypse, Albion rem-Jakas, and the itwrld takes on once again its original eternal and infinite form. rfhe F01J.r Zoas, ....Jhich is subtitled The TOl~ments of Love and Jealousy in The Death and Judgement of Albion the Ancient Han., is one version of the Blakean fall, struggle, redemption, and apocalypse Hhich comprise Blake's epic theme. Blake feels that the Bible has been misunderstood or mistranslated by fallen man; Blake accepts the task of reinterpreting a "Bible of Hellll in accordance Hith the Council of God,' Universal family, or Eternals.. Blake does not d01.lbt that he is lithe right genius at the right time [WhO) might speak the great Hord that ['HilJ:] shatter the 1-10..118 of the human prison II. 1 This belief does not reflect the se1f-im~ortculce of an egoJnaniac because Blake sincerely believes tbc,t an an artist, he serves the universal imagination Shaw (2) I and helps his society understand its traditions and visualize its ideal state.

  • THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam
    1 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam 2 PREFACE With the exception of a relatively small number of pieces, Ibsen’s copious output as a poet has been little regarded, even in Norway. The English-reading public has been denied access to the whole corpus. That is regrettable, because in it can be traced interesting developments, in style, material and ideas related to the later prose works, and there are several poems, witty, moving, thought provoking, that are attractive in their own right. The earliest poems, written in Grimstad, where Ibsen worked as an assistant to the local apothecary, are what one would expect of a novice. Resignation, Doubt and Hope, Moonlight Voyage on the Sea are, as their titles suggest, exercises in the conventional, introverted melancholy of the unrecognised young poet. Moonlight Mood, To the Star express a yearning for the typically ethereal, unattainable beloved. In The Giant Oak and To Hungary Ibsen exhorts Norway and Hungary to resist the actual and immediate threat of Prussian aggression, but does so in the entirely conventional imagery of the heroic Viking past. From early on, however, signs begin to appear of a more personal and immediate engagement with real life. There is, for instance, a telling juxtaposition of two poems, each of them inspired by a female visitation. It is Over is undeviatingly an exercise in romantic glamour: the poet, wandering by moonlight mid the ruins of a great palace, is visited by the wraith of the noble lady once its occupant; whereupon the ruins are restored to their old splendour.

  • The Implied Reader in Blake's Songs of Innocence
    Colby Quarterly Volume 25 Issue 1 March Article 3 March 1989 Innocence Re-called: The Implied Reader in Blake's Songs of Innocence Deborah Guth Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.colby.edu/cq Recommended Citation Colby Library Quarterly, Volume 25, no.1, March 1989, p.4-11 This Article is brought to you for free and open access by Digital Commons @ Colby. It has been accepted for inclusion in Colby Quarterly by an authorized editor of Digital Commons @ Colby. Guth: Innocence Re-called: The Implied Reader in Blake's Songs of Innoc Innocence Re-called: The Implied Reader in Blake's Songs of Innocence by DEBORAH GUTH T IS one of the axioms of Blake criticism that the two "Contrary States I of the Human Soul," Innocence and Experience, are portrayed separately through the sets of songs bearing their respective names. The Songs ofInnocence, rendered through lilting childlike rhymes, dramatize the enchanted inner world of the child; 1 the following series defines the spiritual landscape of its absence, while critical distance, mutual ex­ posure, and satire are achieved through the juxtaposition of the two sets of songs within a single composite work (Frye, 237; Bloom, Vis. Co., 34). However, although the Songs ofInnocence are apparently intended for children- "Every child may joy to hear"- closer analysis reveals, within this series alone, complex levels of discourse which are alien to the child's world as well as implied situations and conflicting emotions glimpsed by Innocence but properly belonging to the world of Experience. Most significantly, although the stated purpose of these songs is to portray the state of Innocence, almost all contain forebodings and insights from the world ofExperience which subliminally call on the reader to focus beyond the halcyon world of joy and faith which is their ostensible subject.

Pictured in the background to the immediate right of the theater is the building, still standing today, in which Kierkegaard lodged during his four stays in Berlin, in 1841– 42, 1843, 1845, and 1846.

Welch The Lion and the Unicorn, Volume 35, Number 3, September 2011, pp. 199-226 (Article) Published by The Johns Hopkins University Press DOI: 10.1353/uni.2011.0022 For additional information about this article http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/uni/summary/v035/35.3.welch.html Access provided by Virginia Polytechnic Inst. __ACCESS_STATEMENT__ St.University __ACCESS_STATEMENT__ (Viva) (6 Feb 2014 14:18 GMT) Blake and Rousseau on Children’s Reading, Pleasure, and Imagination Dennis M. Welch Perhaps one of the most significant scenes of reading instruction in English art comes from the title page (fig. 1) of William Blake’sSongs of Innocence (1789). The scene foregrounds literacy in the lower left margin with a gov- erness holding a book on her lap, as a young boy and girl peer into the text. All seems as it should: an adult imparting knowledge and literacy skills to youth standing attentively at her knees. But in this otherwise serene and proper scene troublesome signs lurk. The tree on the right, with its fruits resembling apples in most copies of the title page and with a vine snaking around the trunk, recalls the Tree of Knowledge in Genesis.1 The little boy and girl face away from the Tree—perhaps suggesting their youthful naiveté—whereas the governess faces toward the Tree—presumably the source of her authority. Moreover, the onset of day or night, implied in the light and dark portions of sky in several copies of this design, may suggest that Experience will inevitably intrude upon Innocence.2 And the branches that nearly encircle in all copies the word “Innocence,” visually separat- ing the children from it, seem to suggest its tentative status.

Every child may joy to hear." "And the mom ("Introduction". Songs of Innocence) "Rises from the slumberous mass." ("Introduction''. Songs of Experience! 19 Chapter- 2 WILLIAM BLAKE "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. "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.
