for my 11th grade english class, in our study of romanticism, we had to pattern a poem in the style of the romantic of our choice (i chose william blake) and make a picture for it... i chose to do mine with a tablet in photoshop instead of with a ballpoint pen on lined paper.
Awake in the moonlit eve
Dug a little boy na�ve.
Unaware of what did lurk,
He proceeded doing work.
To dig a hole to China far,
Reckless, he struck Myanmar?
No, only dirt he reach�d,
And in dismay he screech�d!
Below him then fell the ground,
So his delve became unwound.

Nice!
But isn't Blake considered a transitory poet and not quite Romantic? He's a little to forthright about the bitter miseries of the Industrial Revolution compared to the escapist romantics after him.
Peace  |

yes, blake does have many of the qualities of a romantic poet; however, much of his work dealt with worldly themes. i'm not a poetic scholar and i don't claim to be, nor have i watched much evangelion (aside), but i do know that william blake was on the provided choices list, so i snagged him. :^) thanks for the comments! |
