One of this author's poems contains the metaphor of a "dismal shade" extending over the head of mankind, which is nibbledat by a "caterpillar and fly." This poet described a location where the "sun does never shine," the "Âelds are bleak and bare,"and the "ways are Âlled with thorns," stating simply: "It is winter there." He weirdly phrased the line "like the harmoniousthunderings of Heaven among" to rhyme with "song" in another poem, which describes characters "walking two and two, inred and blue and green." This poet related that "The Gods of the earth and sea" seek a tree in vain, because "There Grows onein the Human Brain." He beckons the reader to "cherish pity, lest you drive an angel from your door," at the end of a poemdescribing a procession of children walking into St. Paul's Cathedral. This author wrote about "a little black thing among the snow" who is sold by his father before he could cry "weep! weep! weep! weep!" For 10 points, name this poet of "TheHuman Abstract," whose "Holy Thursday" and "The Chimney Sweeper" each appear in two contrasting versions in his Songsof Innocence and Experience.
