Read this poem: how like a winter hath my absence been from thee, the pleasure of the fleeting year! What freezing have I felt, what dark days seen! What old becember's bareness every where! And yet this time removed was summer's time; The teeming autumn, big with rich increases, bearing the wanton burden of the prime, like widow'd wombs after their lord's decease: yet this abundant issue seem'd to me but hope of orphans and unfather'd fruit; for summer and his pleasures wait on thee, and, thou away, the very birds are mute; or, if they sing, 'its with so dull a cheer that leaves look pale, dreading the winter's near. Where does the tone shift in the poem.

The Human Abstract

by William Blake



Pity would be no more

If we did not make somebody poor,

And Mercy no more could be

If all were as happy as we.



And mutual fear brings Peace,

Till the selfish loves increase;

Then Cruelty knits a snare,

And spreads his baits with care.



He sits down with holy fears,

And waters the ground with tears;

Then Humility takes its root

Underneath his foot.



Soon spreads the dismal shade

Of Mystery over his head,

And the caterpillar and fly

Feed on the Mystery.



And it bears the fruit of Deceit,

Ruddy and sweet to eat,

And the raven his nest has made

In its thickest shade.



The gods of the earth and sea

Sought through nature to find this tree,

But their search was all in vain:

There grows one in the human Brain.

Now Zeus the lord of cloud roused in the north
a storm against the ships, and driving veils
of squall moved down like night on land and sea.
The bows went plunging at the gust; sails cracked and lashed out strips in the big wind.
We saw death in that fury, dropped the yards, unshipped the oars, and pulled for the nearest lee:
then two long days and nights we lay offshore worn out and sick at heart, tasting our grief,
until a third Dawn came with ringlets shining. Then we put up our masts, hauled sail, and rested,
letting the steersmen and the breeze take over.

I might have made it safely home, that time,
but as I came round Malea the current
took me out to sea, and from the north
a fresh gale drove me on, past Cythera.
Nine days I drifted on the teeming sea
before dangerous high winds.

–The Odyssey,
Homer
