    Byron’s Heaven and Hell William Blake was ahead of his time, not just with his writings, which impacted the writers and cultures that came after, but his lifestyle and mentality pushed the envelope for the human thought process. His writings contemplated the morality of man, leaving such a mental mark on the reader, as they are left to see Blake’s world blend into theirs after reading. These bold ideas that stemmed from Blake’s psyche, were that which outlined Lord Byron’s own view with the world. Byron created a character model of an individual that was more than that of man, curious, in search for endless answers, rebellious, questioning that which interacted with his soul, and persistent, which allowed the character to brace and venture into other worlds. This character in its own, is like Blake’s personality, who questioned everything from the powers that make up our world, to acknowledging the grand mechanics working around them giving astonishment and admiration to how nature can influence one’s thought in solitude. Blake wrote onto his own platform, etched plates, for these prophetic writings, symbolizing the sublime he brought into this world, with awe and wonderment through this visionary aspect, blending in the biblical aspect of this visual device. Lord Byron had his own character is such a light, being able to be a visionary while facing terror in other worlds, bringing shock to the reader, while showing the broken and asymmetrical thoughts of a rough and…

While Tom cried, however, our narrator finds solace in the experience, claiming in lines seven and eight that it, “for when your head's bare, / You know that the soot cannot spoil your white hair." This is the first introduction of Blake’s metaphor which uses black and white as vessels through which he discusses corruption and innocence respectively. For Blake, a child’s white hair is but a manifestation of their untainted youth and purity. In evidence…

    The poems I have chosen to analyze are “The Lamb” and “The Tyger” by William Blake. Blake’s opinions about humanity are quite special as well as his visions of Christ and Christianity because he believed in God but not in the church. After reading and comparing the two poems, initially I thought Blake was trying to identify good and evil. Then I saw it more as describing Jesus as the lamb and the devil as the tyger. The Lamb of God being a well-known alias of Jesus made that determination fairly…

    William Blake’s poems “The Lamb” and “The Tyger” describe {two contrary states of the human soul} with “The Lamb” reflecting the soul at an innocent state, and “The Tyger” reflecting the soul at a more experienced (and destructive?) state. Blake’s poem “The Lamb” serves as a representation of a stage of innocence in one’s life, which encompasses purity, gentleness, and dependency. He describes the lamb as a docile, dependent creature with white, fluffy wool and a gentle voice, nothing out of…
