Poetry of Blake

Av x y - 19 december 2016 10:45

 
O Rose thou art sick. 
The invisible worm, 
That flies in the night 
In the howling storm: 
 
Has found out thy bed 
Of crimson joy: 
And his dark secret love 
Does thy life destroy.
 
The Sick Rose, a poem written by William Blake is one of my favourites. It's really beautiful and has a lot of different meanings. The thing about poetry at least according to me is that every poem has its own meaning and it is up to the reader to interpret this meaning. There isn't any right or wrong answer as long as you can explain why you think the poems means what you think it means.
 
Interpreting Blake's poem one option is that it is a love poem. Worms often symbolise death and decay while roses are symbols of love. From only these two symbols one could argue that the poem is about someone who is in love but that love is not returned and thus it becomes a persons decay and maybe even a secret from the rest of the world, refering to the last lines in the poem. This is just a short interpretation of the poem and there are a lot more one could discuss such as, the rhyme, metre, form and so forth. We are going to dig a bit deeper into this terminolgy in a later post and explain a bit what these things are.

  I watched one of the most beautiful but at the same time the most horrible film I have ever seen yesterday. The film is called Desert Flower and is based on the self-biography with the same title written by Waris Dirie, and tells the story of a ...
