Blake uses words like burning, seize, and deadly, creating a picture in our minds of something powerful and in charge. Blake also uses syntax to apply tone to the poem.

William Blake, now considered one of the most illustrious Romantic poets, was given nearly no recognition during his lifetime for the enlightened works he published. He ventured away from the ordinary model of understanding that was deemed familiar to the everyday person, which was extremely uncommon and even considered too “radical” for the time.
