Tone, Mood, Setting, and Action:

In Blake’s watercolor, the viewer can clearly see the foe “outstretched

beneath the tree.” Concerning the tree, both the trunks and the limbs are very dark in color, thus paralleling the

ominous mood of the poem. In addition, the limbs bend over the foe’s

body, forming a symbolic grave of sorts.

Blake’s choice of colors is both muted and dreary – devoid of life.
