- 3551: Blake's "London" and "The Garden of Love"
- ... a social critic, he wrote many poems condemning the hypocrisy between these two worlds, for example, "The Chimney Sweeper," "London," and "The Garden of Love." In "London," Blake reveals that this hypocrisy has robbed the world of innocence and spirit. In the first two lines, Blake repeats the word "charter'd."
