The Angel-William Blake

I dreamt a dream What can it mean? And that I was a beginning(a) faery Guarded by an holy man tame Witless woe was inner beguiled And I wept some(prenominal) iniquity and day, And he wiped my tears away And I wept both day and night, And hid from him my hearts delight. So he took his wings, and fled Then the morn blushed rosy red. I dried my tears, and arm my fears With ten-thousand shields and spears. Soon my Angel came again I was armed, he came in sleeveless For the time of youth was fled, And grey hairs were on my head.Analysis Personal- I believe that Blake is emphasizing that fact that when we are younger we are encouraged to dream and to pay off fun because of our ingenuousness and inadequacy of k straightawayledge of the consequences. But as we reverse older we are guided into achieving certain goals because we straightway understand the situations that we face. I believe that Blake is saying that we should live in the present and not the future, because our inno cence (our youth) can never be regained but our imagination is continuous.I believe that the Angel in this verse is referring to our parents, because wrought the good and the bad, our parents will be there to divine service us. Literal- when Blake refers to the word l, he is referring to himself. He believed that he was the Maiden Queen. In the second stanza, the Angel offers its have it away to the Maiden Queen, but the Maiden Queen does not accept it. In the third stanza we get that the Queen is now willing to accept the Angels love, by arming his self with 10,000 shields and spears. The shields represent aegis from being hurt, and the spears represent inflicting damage against people who wrong him.In the fourth stanza we read the Angel had come again but came in vain. So Blake was now willing to love the Angel but as he had stupefy old with grey hair, the Angel came in vain, this meant that the Angel could not love Blake.
