Flashcards
London and Letter in November
Cards in this deck (6)
- 1London - 'And blights with plagues the Marriage hearse'Marriage is a curse and something which can kill you, oxymoronic to the normal view of marriage being happy. The love is lost in a rotten world
- 2Letter in November- 'Pods of the laburnum at nine in the morning'Links the Uterus of a woman to a poisonous tree, one gives life and the other takes it away; Job 1:21; going into the world from the mothers womb naked and will leave the same way.
- 3Letter in November - 'The apples are golden'The apples on her tree are her children, they are precious and rare much like gold itself, hard to come by. In her eyes they are perfect.
- 4London - 'How the Chimney-sweepers cry'The 'Chimney-sweepers' are a symbol of innocence , the young children are put out to do the dirty work, the work of man. They are scared of this world so they cry.
- 5Letter in November - 'In a thick grey death soup'Similar to Blake; innocent children are thrown into a horrible world. Precious valuable things have to come into a world of death and destruction filled with hate.
- 6London - 'Runs in blood down Palace walls'The person in charge is the one destroying them, killing their own people through the industrialisation of the country.
