"Such a thought provoking poem"

Oh Rhiannon this is such a wonderful poem, and I am glad you have reminded me to look at it once again!

I think Blake, like you said, has ( Read more... )

Well well well! For most of you, like me, this is your final official live journal, and we’re finishing our long stint with MG. We’re taking everything he has given us and provided to us out into the big wide world. For me it has definitely been two very very long years, which while they have been fun, they have also been extremely testing. I’ve ( Read more... )

"The Green-eyed monter that is in everyone's closet"

Hey Jeffrey,

This was a really lovely entry… despite being on a subject quite less than lovely.

I think you’re absolutely spot-on in saying that jealousy is derived from an inability to ( Read more... )

The Marriage of Heaven and Hell… WOAH! It really is pretty full on.

Blake has really got me thinking about the idea that without a contrary, we can not experience something. So this week I want to share with you some pictures which represent some of the things which I feel we can not experience without knowing their contrary.

Anymore

No matter what you said to me

I was always there for you

No matter what you did to me

I always came home at night.

But now you’ve gone and done this

You’ve gone and done the unforgivable

I don’t know if I can

If I can come home again.

We tried and we tried

To get over this pain

We tried and we tried

But it was never the same

I still love you my ( Read more... )

"Oothoon vs. Bromion"

Hey Mariam,

I know, I know “Visions of The Daughters of Albion” is very intense indeed!

When we first started looking at this I was SO out of my depth, but like you, the discussions we’ve had have ( Read more... )

My best entry is Week 5 :
http://becky-hw.livejournal.com/18274.html


This week we looked at and compared the poems “Nurse’s Song” in the book of Innocence and “NURSES Song” in the book of Experience, both by William Blake.

Nurse’s Song
When the voices of children are heard on the green
And laughing is heard on the hill,
My heart is at rest within my ( Read more... )

For this week’s entry, MG suggested that we created a poem - starting with the first line of one of Blake’s poems and building it from there…

I’ve used the first line of William Blake’s poem “On Anothers Sorrow” from the book of Innocence.

Let me know what you think, and where you think it should be placed…
Innocence? Or Experience?
