This is an article collection between June 2007 and December 2018. Sometimes I add some recent articles too.

Today’s English poem (5)

‘Infant Sorrow’ by William Blake (1757-1827)

My mother groan'd! my father wept,
Into the dangerous world I leapt:
Helpless, naked, piping loud:
Like a fiend hid in a cloud.

Struggling in my father's hands,
Striving against my swadling bands,
Bound and weary I thought best
To sulk upon my mother's breast.

(End)
