Upon Westminster Bridge by William Wordsworth and London by William BlakeUpon Westminster Bridge was written by William Wordsworth on September3rd 1802. William Blake wrote London between 1757 and 1827. twain poemsare about London, but they have very(prenominal) different views of the city.Wordsworth ensures the ingenuous about the city and doesnt pick up anynegatives. Blake however expresses a negative smellinging and shows how itis felt by all.Wordsworth was the son of a lawyer called John Wordsworth. His fatherwas the personal attorney of the Earl of Lonsdale, the most powerfuland despised man in the area. He had three brothers and one eldersister. He wrote this poem in the year that the Earl died when he andhis siblings could finally receive the inheritance of their mother andfathers deaths. Little more than a month later aft(prenominal)ward writing the poemhe married his childhood sweetheart bloody shame Hutchinson. This could havehad some effect in his views and prosp ects in life after all he hadsuffered when he was a teenager.Blake was the son of a triple-cr feature hosier and was the third of fivechildren. He only went to school long large to read and write andthen worked in his fathers shop until he was fourteen. At 25 Blakemarried Catherine Boucher. A follower of Emanuel Swedenborg, whooffered a gentle and cryptic interpretation of Christianity, Blakewrote poetry that largely reflects Swedenborgian views.Upon Westminster Bridge has a very ar slurrary view on London. Hedescribes how calm and clear it is and how you could not notch bywithout noticing its beauty.?Dull would he be of soul who could pass by?He continues to say that the city wears the royalty that is part of itand how special it is to see this place. H... ...hing as if it is human,even the people seem to be explained as expert a sum or thing. To overlyuse more corporal terms gives the poem a very negative outlook,which is just what Blake was onerous to achieve.Both poems have very different views on London. Wordsworth?s was verypositive and Blake?s seemed to pick out everything unpleasant anddepressing. I in person prefer Blake?s poem as it seems to be more veridical and if you took a second to think deeper into your town orcity you could probably highlight more bad than good points. However Ifeel that Blake was very harsh and a bent of the things that Wordsworthsaid are also very true and relevant but are a bit like living in adaydream. If I were to write my own poem I would write one moresimilar to Blake?s because I found it more compelling to read and itwas a lot more interesting and dramatic.
