In addition to being a poet, William Blake was a fine artist and published illustrated editions of his own work, using a special engraving technique to create amazing prints that accompanied the two volumes of poetry that we are reading selections from: Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience. Choose an image that accompanies one of the poems we are reading, and provide a brief (250-300 word) analysis that explains how the image and the poem work together. What do you see in the image you’ve selected that helps you understand the poem more fully? How do the poem and the engraving offer different perspectives on a single subject? Be sure to include details from both the poem and the image in your discussion.

Your image and analysis must be posted by 9 a.m. on Wednesday, October 5th.
