POEMS

 

Blake communicates his idea by describing London as depressing, immoral place. He describes that the public as downtrodden and delayed with misery, anguish, and overwhelming poverty. In addition, he prefers to depict London at night so that he can emphasize the theme of London's murkiness, which represents a gloomy, dreary city that is full of desolation. Contrary to Blake, Wordsworth describes London in the morning and expresses his appreciation for its architecture. The poem is written in the mood of contentment and bliss. He writes that London is unique even when the passion of emotion aimed towards a beloved, which contrasts with Blake's bleak portrayal of very same metropolis. .
             Blake uses dark and frantic images signifying paucity, violence, illness and decease because he wishes to convince the reader of melancholy and morbid. His style is rather hyperbolic and this tends to reinforce the concept of social coercion in the poem. He generalizes and exaggerates by saying that in ever person to be observed there as sadness and weakness. From the Songs of Innocence, "The Chimney Sweeper" described how children were exploited for extremely cheap, child labor. He contrasts the child's purity to the evils of humanity. He justifies how we take advantage of our innocent and utilize it to our advantage. . The images and metaphors used help to establish that this poem is about a young child who is an orphan and is being forced to deal with the pressures of child labor. The poem's terminology sounds like it is a child having a conversation with Blake, and Blake is writing down his emotions as the conversation continues. In this poem he states "'weep 'weep" which symbolizes that the chimney sweeper's emotional privation is directly linked with the work they have to do, and demonstrates the continuous circumstances of anguish they live in. .
             Wordsworth's poems are in conflict between nature and humanity.
