Romanticism in Popular Culture
If you think these are words from the past and couldn't be used in today's society: think again.
Did you know that Monty Python used Blake in one of the episodes of its Flying Circus? Blake has influenced many other modern artists. Bob Dylan, Van Morisson and U2 are popular musicians who used Blake's words as an inspiration.
These lyrics from The Doors' End of the Night literally use Blake's Auguries of Innocence.
Take the highway to the end of the night
End of the night, end of the night
Take a journey to the bright midnight
End of the night, end of the night
Realms of bliss, realms of light
Some are born to sweet delight
Some are born to sweet delight
Some are born to the endless night
End of the night, end of the night
End of the night, end of the night
Realms of bliss, realms of light
Some are born to sweet delight
Some are born to sweet delight
Some are born to the endless night
End of the night, end of the night
Not only musicians have been influenced by Romanticism; films, books, comics and even games have been based on the words of the greatest poets of the Romantic time.
