The poem
Whether on Ida's shady brow, Or in the chambers of the East, The chambers of the sun, that now From ancient melody have ceas'd;
Whether in Heav'n ye wander fair, Or the green corners of the earth, Or the blue regions of the air, Where the melodious winds have birth;
Whether on crystal rocks ye rove, Beneath the bosom of the sea Wand'ring in many a coral grove, Fair Nine, forsaking Poetry!
How have you left the ancient love That bards of old enjoy'd in you! The languid strings do scarcely move! The sound is forc'd, the notes are few!
To The Muses
To the muses is quite a masterpiece. As far as williams blakes poetry goes this one truly inspired emotion as well as a great appreciation for the small things in nature. This poem provides direct proof of william blakes many "muses" are so to speak. he states in the poem that he would gladly foresake any of his muses for the poetry itself. overall one of my favorite poems by blake.
to the muses
no, no, no. you got it all wrong.
it is about the nine greek muses of the arts and sciences.
this whole poem is about greek mythology
to the muses
i think this poem was so good, because blake talks about be creative and thinking outside your comfort zone.
