The verses composed on Westminster Bridge and "London" are created by William Wordsworth and William Blake respectively. Wordsworth's work originated in the eighteenth century and he himself lived in the countryside and rarely visited large cities such as London. This is reflected in his poetry, making it personal to his experience in London, however William Blake on the other hand had extensive knowledge of London and was actually a London poet, which allowed him to express his views on London from a Londoner's point of view. visualization. I will then examine the comparisons between both poems, as well as their contrasting views of London and the poetic devices used to express their views. Wordsworth believed in pantheism, the religion of nature, meaning he believed that nature represented religion as well as atmosphere. of a particular place. He believed that a positive atmosphere and healthy nature represented a strong religious atmosphere of that area, demonstrating its good qualities. Wordsworth incorporated this belief into his poetry, as he states that the London area was "bright and glittering" and that the area was filled with "smokeless air." These words show the positivity of London through Wordsworth's eyes, illustrating his belief that London was a beautiful and religious area. In contrast, Blake had very different and traditional views on religion. He believed strongly in the power of God, unlike Wordsworth's belief in Pantheism. He believed that only God had the power to commit acts of power and that the city of London was actually a negative, horrible place, full of corruption due to people with power. He describes this message using personification by stating, “The blood runs down the palace walls” Showing that blood of soldiers from t...... middle of the paper ...... of ten syllables. Blake's poem differs in this way as it does not contain iambic pentameter, however it does contain rhyming couplets, which are a very simple way to allow a poem to flow easily and make it enjoyable for the reader, such as the lines: "In every cry of every man, ''In every voice, in every ban'To conclude, I believe that Blake presents a more real view of London from his point of view, as it is more credible than Wordsworth's vision Wordsworth uses more poetic devices, making it more enjoyable to read and I like it, unlike Blake's poetry which has a greater effect on me, this is because Blake's effect on the reader is a negative effect like when I read the poem, I believe London is a bad place from his description, unlike Wordsworth's, which makes London seen "beautiful" and very attractive to people.
