The Fly Analysis

Author: poem of William Blake Type: poem Views: 123

Little Fly
Thy summers play,
My thoughtless hand
Has brush'd away.

Am not I
A fly like thee?
Or art not thou
A man like me?

For I dance
And drink & sing;
Till some blind hand
Shall brush my wing.

If thought is life
And strength & breath;
And the want
Of thought is death;

Then am I
A happy fly,
If I live,
Or if I die.

.: :.

Blake is talking about his unimportance in the world. If he could so carelessly brush a fly aside, what is to say "God" can not brush him aside? "Till some blind hand brush my wing" The poem speaks of unimportance and immortality.
