2. A Poison Tree – William Blake

3. William Blake (1757 – 1827)
William Blake mystic, poet and artistic, was
born in London on November 28, 1757. His father James
Blake was hosier and his mother was Catherine Blake’s
creative faculty found an outlet in the early years in
poetry, some of which has in his thin volume of Poetical
Sketches, published in 1783.

4. The poet describes getting angry at his friend once. When
he explained his feelings to him the conflict was resolved. The anger
ended. On the other hand, the poet clashed with a person that he did
not like. He held that irritation inside and did not express or tell the
other person what was wrong. The resentment began to grow inside
the poet.

5. The narrator begins to cultivate his rage. He waters the
budding tree fear and tears every day and night. Still, the enemy
does not know this growing fury. Fear can make a person act out
of character and lose his emotional balance. Deceptively, the
speaker employs his smiles as through it was the application of
the sun to this poison tree.

6. Anger poisons the human spirit; furthermore, it
endangers the ability to use logical reasoning. Finally, this tree
bears the fruit of the narrator’s fury in the form of a beautiful,
appealing apple as in the Biblical forbidden fruit. The enemy
desires the apple and realizes that it belongs to the poet.

7. Finally, the anger comes to end; however the narrator
has lost his humanity. Now he is glad that the enemy is dead. The
fruit of his hostility(the poison apple) lured the enemy into the
garden; he ate the apple; and now the foe has been eliminated. It
indicates that the narrator finds comfort in the death of the other
man
