            In the poem of the Lines Composed a Few Miles above Tintern Abbey, the author wrote about the memory of his boyish days. He wrote that he felt joy. He wrote that he loves nature.

Comparison of description and literary symbolism

Comparison of description and literary symbolism

            In Mary Shelley’s description, the Mont Blanc was the solemn silence of the glorious presence-chamber of imperial Nature was broken only by the brawling waves or the fall of some vast fragment. She descripted the Mont Blanc as a very quiet place and it is a place with the power of nature. In Percy Shelley’s description, the Mont Blanc was a place with a lot of meaning, such as the life and the death. It is the mountain that connect with Nature and Humans together. Mary Shelley’s description connect to the Romanticism by the Dream and the Imagination of Frankenstein. He felt the greatest consolation from these sublime and magnificent sense. And when he slept, he dreamed these scenes. Percy Shelley’s description connect to the Romanticism by the beautiful scenes and the imagination. He used many imagery to show the power of nature, the life, and the death. It said that human was as similar as the nature. But it also showed that nature has much stronger power than human.

Thought of Holy Thursday by William Blake

William Blake's poems, Holy Thursday, divided into two different poem. One is about the innocence. The other one is about experience. 

The one about the innocence is talking all the good things. It seems to be full of happiness. The children walking in colors. The grey headed beadles walked with wands. A group of people sit together with radiance. Children are singing songs. The poor are guarded. Everything is so great. Everyone is happy.

          The other one about experience is talking all the bad things. The babies reduced to misery. The crying seems like not a song of joy. It talks about the poor.

          Compares two of the poem, the themes are totally different. There are some things which character is the same, like children. But the children in innocence are happy, the children in experience are sad. In my opinion, William Blake was trying to make the difference very obviously. And every time the readers will get his thought that he showed in a very strong way. And we can see the bad things more clear when we got a very happy thing to compare. William showed a very bad world that full of misery, dark, poverty, and cold. And he showed this because he want to change the bad world, make it become the world of happiness.
