The Blind Girl

"The Blind Girl" by William Blake is a poem highlighting themes of innocence, faith, and inner perception. It describes a visually impaired girl sitting beside a landscape she cannot see, yet she perceives beauty through her other senses and spiritual insight. The poem emphasizes the idea that inner vision and understanding are more profound than physical sight, and it celebrates the purity and trust of innocence. Ultimately, Blake suggests that true perception comes from the soul and spirit, rather than just the physical eyes.
