Hannah I really enjoyed your interpretation of The Clod and The Pebble and the way you express Blake's views on the need for opposites in the world. Love is never easy, neither is life, but I guess that's the point right?

The nature of humanity is to be kind, at the end of the day nobody wants to be hurt.Though just as Blake demonstrates in The Clod and The Pebble one cannot exist without the other, otherwise we would not be able to learn and grow and ultimately become better people ( ... )
