Poem- ''joy and Woe Are Woven Fine''

Joy and Woe are Woven fine,

A clothing for the soul divine

,

Under every grief and pine,

Runs a joy with silken twine.

It is right it should be so,

We were made for joy and woe

,

And when this we rightly know,

Through the world we safely go

.

- William Blake

In this Poem poet William Black uses some figures of language like paradox, personification,exaggeration .

Paradox:- Joy and Woe.

Misunderstanding in poem

Pesonification:- Clothing for the Soul divine

Personofication gives human characteristic to inanimate objects,animals,or idea. And here poet says that clothing for the soul divine.we all know that soul can't wear clothes but here poet used personification in this line.

Runs a Joy :-It is also personification because we all know that joy can't run.
