William Blake's short poems : depth in simplicity

الملخص EN

The study aims at giving interpretations to some of william blake’s short poems.

The researcher noticed through a survey of the literature on blake that critics and researchers usually concentrate on his “songs of innocence and of experience” as representative of blake’s simple and deep poetry, while they pay less attention to some other short poems in this concern therefore, in its analysis of certain themes in blake’s short poems, the study tries to show that poems like “visions of the daughters of albion,” “america,” “the book of urizen,” and some stanzas from blake’s note-books are simple too, and are no less deep than "songs of innocence and of experience" the study concentrates on blake’s main themes of his poetry such as innocence, love, religion and god through which blake’s deep insight is demonstrated.

It is an interpretive rather than a stylistic approach to blake's short poems.
