William Blake

I am taking an English Literature class this semester (it is a block 2 class) and we need to post once a week about the lessons learned so this is the beginning, I am actually really looking forward to the class. As the tile states we really studied William Blake, I had honestly forgotten how much I enjoyed poetry. I love that in poetry one is able to be so melancholic and thoughtful and then so hopeful in so little time. I love that poetry gives you small glances and snapshots of the vent or story taking place. William Blake is interesting because in his "Songs of Innocence " he is able take something so small, fragile, and hopeful (innocence of a child of life) and discuss the melancholic, depressed, and sad side of the issue as well. The growing up, moving on, or the other side of the rose colored glass, the hardships that are present in ever day life as we bid goodbye to other parts of our life, to pieces of who we are, traditions, families, and color.
