This poem, though short, was one that stuck out to me in particular. It made me think of how we all have our vices or the things that we enjoy doing that have the ability to cause addiction and destroy us. We, as people, are the beautiful rose and temptation is the "invisible worm" coming to find us in the howling storm of life. Once we latch onto the temptation or vice, it begins to break us down and destroy us with its "dark secret love." We must be careful of what we allow into our lives and what we become infatuated with.
I commented on Daniel Stephens post.
Thank you for blogging on this. It cleared up some things I was slightly confused about. I do love how Blake had sin seem gross and ugly, yet it has a tempting dark love.
