Comparison of poems. Essay -- English Literature

Comparison of poems.In this introduction I am intending to compargon and contrast two poems.The poems I am contrasting ar called capital of the United Kingdom and Composed UponWestminster. These two poems argon write in the 19th century. Thewriters had the same ideas about the two poems. The poems are bothabout capital of the United Kingdom. The writers both give a different slang of London. TheLondon poem is written by William Blake in 1757-1827. The Westminsterpoem written by William Wordsworth in 1770 1850Blakes representation of London is bleak. The title London is shortand gets straight to the point. The first poetise is a description ofthe city, streets, rivers and the community in the city. The first linecreates a feeling bid London is being owned. It is described likehell. The extract is I wonder thro from each one chattered streets, near werethe chartered Thames does flow. Blake has a sinister view of London.He describes it like a prison. The second two lines invers e 1 is aboutthe people. The quote is and tag in ein truth face I meet, marks of helplessness marks of woe. These two lines mean when Blake sees people onthe streets of London they hold in marks on their faces. The last quotemeans that the people are weak, have grief and sorrow. The mental imageryBlake creates in the first verse is of the eject streets and theflowing Thames.The second verse is about the people. In every let loose of every man inevery infants cry of fear the imagery the second verse suggests pain.Infants cry of mental torture mind big manacles. There is a lotof repetition. In the second verse Blake emphasises on the wordevery to really put the pain across.The third verse is about the institutions and culture. Blake says thechimney sweepers cry. ... ...s like heaven.Wordsworth is in a dream. He is describing London as romantic.The similarities both of these poems are that Blake says marks ofweakness marks of woe. Wordsworth says mighty heart. Blake saysblackening church, hapless soldier, palace walls. Wordsworth saysships, towers, domes, theatres, temples. Blake says chimney sweepersand blackening church. Wordsworth says smoke-free air. Blake sayschartered Thames does flow and Wordsworth says the river glideth athis own sweet will.Blake says midnight streets and Wordsworth says valleys rocks orhills. Blake says midnight and Wordsworth says ingenious and glittery. Healso says morning. Blake says cry in every man and Wordsworth says unruffled so deep.The poem that gives me a better description of London is Blakes pointof view. He has a simple structure and his description is verydescriptive.
