Analyzing and Interpreting Literature / Unit 7 AIL 0612 short lesson, about 20 seconds
The Glossary's Example Does Not Check Out
Captions available
The idea
The glossary illustrates personification with a line about two sunflowers moving in a yellow room, credited to Blake. That line appears nowhere in the Blake witness read for this course. The unit therefore teaches the figure from a poem that can be verified.
In practice
The attribution could not be verified.
Where people slip
The line is absent from Blake's Songs.
