 Leisure by William Davies Critical analysis of the poem Effects of modernization Why is the poet not happy with a stressed life? What does the poet want human beings to do to make their life happy and meaning full?  Too much mechanisation of life has excercised very deep and negative impacts on human mind and attitude to the things around. The greatest impact is that man has got awfully immersed in the mundane activities. These wordly activites have ultimately separated him from all those persuits that can contribute a lot to the solace of mind and soul. In an indirect way, the poet suggests in this poem that man has got separated from the flow of spirituality due to his attraction towards purely materialistic fascinations. This poem is vividly soaked in what can be termed as Wordsworthian ting. We mean to say that in this poem, William Davies also refer to the natural phenomena in the same manner as William Wordsworth repeatedly does in his poems. The second thing is that Davies also

  Willaim Blake's philosophy (His time and reaction ) Willaim Blake is a born Mystical and visionary writer of the 18th century. He is  romantic among the classicals, visionary among the rationals and imaginary among the intellectuals.  In fact, he comes in the category of  Preromantics , it means the Romantic before the Romanticism. He is born when the industrial revolution is about to come and when he starts observing the world with his innocent eyes. He sees nothing but hypocrisy, mechanism, materialism, hatred, corruption, etc in his surroundings. But, when he is 4 hears old, he sees God for the first time in his vision. While, in reality, induatrial revolution has started in England. So, from his very childhood, he stands apart from the hypocrisy, hatred and corruption of the world of England.  The other reason for his being a visionary or imaginary writer is the irritation of established norms, ideas and customes of society. From which he is fed up and winks his eyes towards

He searched for truth in beauty, in art, in nature, in eternal world of Nightingale, in human passion of melancholy and in the lethargy of indolence. In his immature work, we see him hankering after
