After reading “The Little Black Boy” by Blake, I felt he wanted me to feel we are all the same in Eternity. Thus, I was drawn to entitle the poem as “Equal”. Choosing a painting was effortless because Renoir’s “Mother and Daughter” is very explicit. It shows a tree which was an element in his poem. However, it presents a girl whereas his poem presents a boy. The words in Blake’s world are highly represented in the poem. For instance, the tangible is shown with the sun that gives his heat and light away so that every soul can feel it. The intangible is depicted with eternity. These two key elements in his poem constantly move, and the tangible becomes intangible and vice versa. Past is present also as it is continuously influencing the present and it portrays the fact that there has always been white and black.Saturday, August 15, 2009
