|
3.3
On Jan. 16, 2026, A.O. Scott and visual journalist Aliza Aufrichtig examine William Blake’s 1794 poem "The Clod & the Pebble" and a 1795 printed plate in the Book Review. They argue the poem stages opposing perspectives on love—selfless giving and acquisitive desire—while Blake’s engraving links animals and composition to those themes. The piece highlights form-image interplay in Blake’s "Songs of Innocence and of Experience."
