He became a little child,
I a child, and thou a lamb,
We are called by His name"

Blake aligns childhood with Godliness, claiming that Christ was gentle like a child, so we should act in the same manner.]]> 2016-12-01 16:36:36 UTC https://padlet.com/slinton1/cj5dqkhzztnn/wish/141167359 https://padlet.com/slinton1/cj5dqkhzztnn/wish/141196091 2016-12-01 17:45:38 UTC https://padlet.com/slinton1/cj5dqkhzztnn/wish/141196091 https://padlet.com/slinton1/cj5dqkhzztnn/wish/141196248 "A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn;
So might I, standing on this pleasant lea,
have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;
Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea;
Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn."

Wordsworth brings up the innocent child in this segment of the poem, cause he says that he would rather be a child who can see in the sea a different world than adults can (imagination)

Here we see the author talk about his desire to be back in his boyhood. This fit with romantic poetry as Romantics see childhood as the best time. When we are kids we are free and we are good, we are then corrupted by society and force to do things we don't want like working. Here the author desires to be back in those times where he had none of the pain he has now. ]]> 2016-12-04 23:42:32 UTC https://padlet.com/slinton1/cj5dqkhzztnn/wish/141633786
