I wandered lonely as a cloud

William Wordsworth in his Poem “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” clarifies the importance of nature and the close bond between mankind and nature. He creates a feeling of solitary bliss with nature.
This poem depicts the poet’s aimless wandering and his discovery of a field of daffodils by a lake, the memory of which pleases him and comforts him when he is lonely or bored. The first line of the poem phorically compares the speaker to a cloud. This comparison to a cloud gives us the impression that the speaker’s spirit is unbounded, free and light-hearted just as a cloud. Wordsworth uses reverse personification to create the idea of inherent unity between man and nature. The poet compares himself to a cloud while the daffodils are personified as a crowd of people. This personification indicates the contrast of feelings with the beauty of nature either feeling lonely or finding the unity and companionship.
Clearly, the poet values the rewards of nature above material possessions by using the word “wealth”. He alludes that nature is an essential aspect of a person’s life. Wordsworth emphasizes the power of vision. The deion places more value on natural beauty over human creations that result from complex thought processes. Through using literary techniques, Wordsworth creates a work to honor the nature.
I think that through this poem, Wordsworth was trying to translate his discovery that more joy can be found in the simple, untouched aspects of nature over the material gains.

Childhood in Blake’s “The Chimney Sweeper”
William Blake in his poem addresses a social issue publicized during his time. He protests against the living conditions, working conditions, and the overall treatment of young chimney sweeps in the cities of England.
In this poem, the boy sees the injustice and speaks against the establishments that left him where he is. This boy is an example of all young people who work as chimney sweeps. They slept in cellars on bags of the soot that they had swept, and they were poorly fed and clothed. They would sweep the chimney naked so their masters would not have to replace clothing ruined, and they were rarely bathed. Those who were not killed by fires in chimneys usually died early anyway. Many people viewed them as subhuman creatures and not as part of human society. They are usually exploited and oppressed. This image of childhood which is portrayed by this young chimney sweeper highlights the situation where children are isolated from society and institutions in the same line as their parents, who think they do no harm.
The boy believes that his pious parents sold him as a chimney sweeper because he was happy. Thus, the parents have the idea of depriving the childhood from happiness. Clothing him “in the clothes f death” refers to their life as a social outcast and their being destined to an early death because of the working and the living conditions of their profession.
Blake attempts to create a disturbing portrait which reflects a rapidly harsh point of view. He depicts the boy as “A little black thing among the snow”. Just a society neglects to view these children as valid members of the civilized culture; Blake does not even acknowledge that the child is human at all. He is nothing more than a “thing”, a tiny black dot spoiling the pure whiteness of the snow. The child seems to blame his parents for putting him in his torturous position. His speech is filled with a palpable sense of sarcasm. The boy has become wise enough to realize that he has been abandoned by his parents, as well as by society as a whole, as the “parents” spoken of in the poem could be seen as a societal phor. Blake seems to think it ironic that people who abandon their own children are the same ones who devoutly worship.
In sum, instead of portraying and considering the children as the white innocent dots in the corruption of civilized life, they have been depicted as little black things in the whiteness of snow. They have been deprived from their happiness and innocence instead of being endowed them.

Blake’s views on religion in his poem “The Chimney Sweeper”
Deeply reading the Chimney sweeper, Blake presents a world where misery, inhumanity, and frailty are presented in a seemingly darker, sadder fashion. He still aims to create a social commentary through his poem, and continues to speak out against the desolate life which the young chimney sweeps were forced.
Blake criticizes the churches and the religious institutions through the words of the chimney sweeps that are ignored by society as valid members of the civilized culture. He states that when saying that both parents of the child are living and have gone to the church to pray, which is a clear criticism of the Church of England since the chimney sweepers were not welcome in church. The boy believes that his pious parents sold him as a chimney sweeper because he was happy. Clothing him “in clothes of death” refers to his life as a social outcast and his being destined to an early death because of the working and living conditions of his profession. However, his parents believe that they have done no harm and have “gone to praise God and his priest and king”. This is not only a criticism of the parents who sell their children into this life but of the Church of England and the government for condoning the ill-treatment of these chimney sweeps. He also seems to be criticizing God hi, self, who seems so cruel for allowing those who practice this treatment to go unpunished. The boy does not seem to endorse the Christian idea of having joy in the midst of adversity. In fact, the God that his parents praise seems as cruel as others who allow children t be mistreated in such a way. The boy mentions established institutions such as the Church of England and the government in the same line with his parents who think they have done no harm. These institutions could have used their power to improve life for those chimney sweeps, but they have made little if any effort to do so.
Blake seems to think it ironic that people who abandon their own children are the same ones who devoutly worship. He sees this as a desperate attempt for immoral people to try and prove their worth and save their souls. It is a sad fact that the supposedly virtuous institutions would side with the immoral masses, leaving the innocent young people to experience only a slow, painful corruption.
