    The Marriage of Heaven and Hell by William Blake The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (March 2010) simonelmer@hotmail.com The Argument Rintrah roars and shakes his fires in the burdened air; Hungry clouds swag on the deep.

The boy questions the lamb as to where it came from and he expects the lamb to answer back‚ but it is obvious to the reader that the lamb cannot talk. As the boy receives

    I chose to write about‚ “The Sick Rose‚” by William Blake. I found this poem to be very interesting. It can be interpreted in many different ways.
