A Poison Tree
William Blake William Blake
The poem "Poison Tree" is a poem in tetrameter iambic, and Using typical symbolic techniques, the apple is used to symbolize evil consequences to punish the enemy, which is vivid and vivid. In addition, this poem uses a combination of poetry and painting to express the theme. In addition to poetry, after reading this poem, there seems to be a picture in my mind: there is a tree in the painting, and under the tree lies a man who has eaten poisonous fruit and died. People who lost their lives. Blake never received official or public appreciation throughout his life. In the eyes of people at that time, he was an anti-rationalist, a dreamer and a mystic, a person who was far away from the world and a paranoid. His work was not taken seriously. It was not until the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries when Yeats and others re-edited his collection of poems that people were surprised by his innocence and profundity. Then came the publication of his letters and notes, and the growing popularity of his apocalyptic paintings, and Blake's status as poet and painter was firmly established.
