Why William Blake called Naturalistic kind of Poetry?

William Blake is known for its Romantic and visionary Poetries. Many of their contemporary considered him mad because of his peculiar views. It was their misfortunate that his work did not get fame in his lifetime. In his poems, Willliam Blake used to write about nature, supernatural things, picture women and children in the poems, express emotions, and visualize their imagination.


William Blake was somewhat different from other poets of the Romantic Era.

He thought of nature as a world of imagination. In his famous collection of poems"Songs of Innocence and Experience", he creates a panorama of human behaviour and the natural world.

Also, In his famous poem "The School Boy", he looks into the natural effect on the young boy.


Besides these two poems, William Blake has written many poems in which he depicted the effect, influence, beauty and harmony of nature.


While many poets used to worship nature in their poems, Blake did not believe in the worship of nature. For him, nature was like an artefact to express the ideas of imagination, visualization and abstraction.


Blake always thought of reality as an interpreter of nature; for him, the reality was like the perception which someone creates in his mind.


So, from these things, we can say that William Blake's poetry gives us the quality to distinguish the reality of eyes to the perception of the mind. 


By taking ideas from his poetry and his knowledge of the imagination, we can reach the gravity of vision he used to read the world.
