"I laid me down upon a Bank"[edit]

I'm removing Blake's poem "I laid me down upon a Bank" from this article because, while it may help explain "The Garden of Love," is uncited and gives the misleading impression that it is part of "The Garden of Love." --Uityyy (talk) 20:13, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've had to do the same, somebody added it again. Please stop adding it, as as said above it is very misleading, and I've actually had people in my class discuss those two stanzas in essays. It isn't part of the poem, if you feel it is highly relevant or was intended to be the opening part of the poem, talk here, not there, and remember your fighting a corner without references. It's also worth mentioning that all the opinions expressed about the poem are not cited. I will attempt to draw some references out which support the views rather than changing the page, but may have to re-do entirely. - HGR 19:15, 15/04/2011

Neutral point of view?[edit]

‘‘Blake was a master of lyrical poetry, and one cannot understand him without pausing to appreciate such elements as the careful placement of capital letters’’ etc.

I feel like, the way this is written, it isn't fully adhering to the NPOV rule. I don’t really know how to rewrite the section either, though MystiiFlareon2 (talk) 09:49, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
