Wuthering, the adjective which may at once encourage Us to read the book, portraying something mysterious, severe, irascible and  aggressive. It may indicate that the book itself will be dynamic. The adjective also describe the weather, the setting of the book. One may say, an original book with an extraordinary plot, indeed, it is true, the fearful house which couldn't stand anywhere else but in Wuthering Heights.

There is only one of many examples of personification of the Nature. Thrush cross Grange represents idyllic setting, sensitive and full of harmony, the life there is quiet and tranquil, it is hidden between hills secured. The polarit...

 Gerald Manley Hopkins is an exceptional figure, I am fairly sure, without him, the Victorian Epoch couldn't be completed, in the United Kingdom, in Great Britain, In England he is a second National Writer after William Blake. To Christ our Lord I CAUGHT this morning morning’s minion, king-   dom of daylight’s dauphin, dapple-dawn-drawn Falcon, in his riding   Of the rolling level underneath him steady air, and striding High there, how he rung upon the rein of a wimpling wing In his ecstasy! then off, off forth on swing,           As a skate’s heel sweeps smooth on a bow-bend: the hurl and gliding   Rebuffed the big wind. My heart in hiding Stirred for a bird,—the achieve of; the mastery of the thing! Brute beauty and valour and act, oh, air, pride, plume, here   Buckle! AND the fire that breaks from thee then, a billion          Times told lovelier, more dangero...

The Lamb By William Blake Little Lamb who made thee Dost thou know who made thee Gave thee life & bid thee feed. By the stream & o'er the mead; Gave thee clothing of delight, Softest clothing wooly bright; Gave thee such a tender voice, Making all the vales rejoice! Little Lamb who made thee Dost thou know who made thee Little Lamb I'll tell thee, Little Lamb I'll tell thee! He is called by thy name, For he calls himself a Lamb: He is meek & he is mild, He became a little child: I a child & thou a lamb, We are called by his name. Little Lamb God bless thee. Little Lamb God bless thee. The poem itself belongs to the sets of "Songs of Innocence", the Lamb is uncontaminated with sin, is untouched by it.

This virginal beauty is not fearful, is not angry, but mild, meek, William Blake by means of Lamb introduces Jesus Christ; "...I a Child..." - Blake  descr...

William Blake was always regarded as a poet-prophet, in his poems there is an interplay of Classcism and Romantism. He pays tribute to reason, the God he created himself and called him Urizen, is nothing more like Urizen is You Reason. He also had a Goddess, her name is Imagination. According to William Blake: "The World of Imagination is a World of Eternity". The fact that he overwhelmed two centuries made a great impact on his writings and engravings.  London was a place where he spent all his life. He had many visions, visions of the universe, the vision of the New and the old Testament. He wrote many prophetic books, such as: "Book of Los", "Book of four Zoas", "Jerusalem", "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell", "The Gospel of Evil". All his books are packed with antonyms, as he used to say:" ...without contraries there is no progression..." For instance; Heaven vs Hell, Tyger vs Lamb, Songs of Innocence vs Songs of ...
