How did William Blake and Grace Nichols present a place they know well? The ways in which Blake and Nichols present a place they know well are completely different‚ one is seen as a horrible place and is told to be a horrible place‚ but the other is seen as paradise‚ the best place on earth‚ with sun‚ sea‚ great views‚ the lot. Throughout the whole of the poem ‘London’ we can see Blake is telling us the miseries of London‚ what a horrible‚ dreary‚ miserable place it is‚ ‘In every cry of every

my wrath‚ my wrath did end” (Blake 1‚2). Which is a very simple poetic way of saying he was angry‚ but he felt better after confessing his true feelings. When Blake continues‚ he explains how he cannot confess his anger to a foe‚ and goes on by creating images and speaking about the consequences.

Blake ’s dialectic is to be found everywhere in the Songs of Innocence and Experience - night and day‚ winter and spring‚ wilderness and Eden‚ etc. As Mitchell writes (1989:46)‚ ‘dialogue and dialectic of contraries constitute the master code of Blake ’s text’. Bass (1970:209) adds‚ ‘The total effect of Innocence and Experience is one of balanced opposites‚ each fulfilling and completing the other’. Moreover‚ according to John Beer‚ the ‘contrary states’ of the human soul are dialectic in themselves
