Question Answer
London - '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
Letter 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.
Letter 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.
London - '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.
Letter 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.
London - '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.
