    Symbolism The use of symbols is one of the most striking features of Blake’s poetry. There is hardly any poem written by Blake‚ which does not possess a symbolic meaning‚ besides its apparent or surface meaning. Though most of his poems are written in simple language‚ the fact does not deprive them of a deep meaning. However in order to understand Blake’s poetry at a deeper level‚ we have to know something about the symbols‚ which he makes use of. A.C.BAUGH has remarked ‚ “The mystic movement

    1 Introduction In a general sense‚ poems are personal‚ even autobiographical; they inevitably reflect‚ however directly or obliquely‚ the varied concerns and self-images of their authors.
