Comparing the Two Pictures of London, Illustrated by Wordsworth and Bla

Comparing the Two Pictures of London, Illustrated by Wordsworth and Blake in Their Two Poems The dickens poems depicting London by Wordsworth and Blake ar in some ship potbellyal similar and yet have many differences. Both observations of London are depicted through with(predicate) the poets personal perspectives of London using individual experiences. We can tell that both poems are from the persons interpretations and experiences as they are said in the first person Neer saw I in Wordswoths poem and I applaud through each chartered street in Blakes. Both poems are well structured and use emphatic language. Upon Westminster Bridge is a Petrachran sonnet which expresses virile emotion. It depicts his joy and awe of a beautiful city that is sleeping. It comes across as very rose-colored with only positive things to say. The elation is built up through the sonnet using rhyme and emphatic language ... a calm so deep and similes are used that portray a n vestigial theme This city now doth, like a garment, wear. I presuppose this is where the first look at the poem is not enough to to the full grasp Wordsworths meaning. Blakes poem at first glance is very oft the opposite it too uses emphatic language and builds up the feeling through the quatrains which bothow his thoughts to progress yet the feeling and emotional outbursts are of a completely different nature. This poem seems pessimistic and has only gloom and controvert points mentioned. In every cry of every man is different to Wordsworths depiction of serenity, violator and calm A sight so touching in its majesty. The River Thames is used in both poems further is illustrated differently.... ...hat people are trapped in their cordial status but it is only in the mind and thoughts can be changed it isnt yet a physical state. This leaves us with optimism of change. Wordsworth although his poem is very optimistic the irony is that it is on ly captured in one moment. His depiction is not typical. He talks about London being this beautiful thing but he is talking form the panoramic view above it all and more than that he is talking whilst London is asleep leaving us to believe that it will be different, more like Blakes poem in one case London re-awakens. He talks from a moment in the conversion where This city now doth, like a garment, wear implying it is superficial and commonly the city isnt like that. So when looking deeper in to both poems in that respect is an ironic ulterior meaning there which connect the two.
