Upon Westminster Bridge by William Wordsworth and London by William BlakeUpon Westminster Bridge was compose by William Wordsworth on September3rd 1802. William Blake wrote London between 1757 and 1827. both(prenominal) poemsare about London, but they have actually different views of the city.Wordsworth key outs the proficient about the city and doesnt pick up anynegatives. Blake however expresses a negative odouring and shows how itis felt by all.Wordsworth was the son of a attorney called John Wordsworth. His fatherwas the personal attorney of the Earl of Lonsdale, the most powerfuland detest 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 hereditary pattern of their mother andfathers deaths. Little more than a month later subsequently writing the poemhe married his childhood sweetheart bloody shame Hutchinson. This could havehad some effect in his views and pro spects in life afterward all he hadsuffered when he was a teenager.Blake was the son of a prospered hosier and was the third of fivechildren. He only went to school long plentiful 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 recondite interpretation of Christianity, Blakewrote poetry that largely reflects Swedenborgian views.Upon Westminster Bridge has a very peremptory view on London. Hedescribes how calm and clear it is and how you could not qualifying 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 sightly a sum or thing. To in additionuse more incarnate terms gives the poem a very negative outlook,which is just what Blake was severe to ach ieve.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 graphic and if you took a second to think deeper into your t consume orcity you could believably highlight more bad than good points. However Ifeel that Blake was very harsh and a herd of the things that Wordsworthsaid are also very true and relevant but are a art object 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.
