The passage of Milton, plate 17 [19] , ll. 21〜30,is tinged with some Platonic metaphor or the Allegory of the Cave. It is well known that while Blake was an eager reader of Plato, he gradually became critical of the classics, but in his later days, his views became less harsh of the Greek and Latin traditions. Presumably, partly owing to his conflicts with Hayley, his resentment or criticism toward Greco-Roman works reached its utmost height around the period he spent working on Milton. Paradoxically, Milton came out with the strong savor of Platonic thought and expressions. Interesting enough, Blake himself somewhat admitted this situation in one of his letters. Blake and Plato, however, have some deviating point from each other. While Plato argues that the two different kinds of perception, namely that of reality and that of its shadow, never coexists, Blake believed and experienced his own manyfold vision, and fully described it in his works.
