Re: Revising Blake (lit, A2)
Not looked at this one too closely but here's the notes i have for To Tirzah:
 The last stanza questions an escape to spirituality, "set me free".
"The sexes sprung from shame and pride" is a refernce to the fall of man (Bibblical reference)
There is an emphasis on the fact that everything alive must eventually die, "must be consumed with the earth/To rise from the geenration free"
"mortal part" is an indication of material nature.
"generation free" suggests there is no need for sex or food.
The question in the last stanza is a question of identity "what have I to do with thee?"
If anyone else can make any sense of what I've said, please back me up,just so i know I'm not talking nonsense  |
