Joy and woe are woven fine

Joy and woe are woven fine  

 Joy and woe are woven fine is short poem by William Blake. He was an English poet, painter, and printmaker. Largely unrecognized during his lifetime, Blake is now considered a seminal figure in the history of the poetry and visual arts of the Romantic Age.

In this short poem William Blake tries to give very meaningful message that joy and grief, both are part of life and both are good that we have to understand.

Blake says joy and woe are woven fine. Here,woven means things which are attached to each other or inter related as here both happiness and grief are fine. They are cloths of our soul. In every grief, there are also joy we need to find it. We are not here for only happiness or for only pain. But we are made for both. And when we know that joy and woe both are part of our life, we can live happily in grief also.

Thus, in this poem poet wants to tell that accept both joy and pain. Do not become unhappy when sad moments come, there are always happy moments also. Know that both are part of everyone's life and live happily. That is all poet wants to say in the poem. Thus, it provides very spiritual understanding of life that we can nt escape from any situation we have to just face it. Whatever comes in life we have to accept as not last forever as everything will pass and as Osho says joy and woe both have their height and Depth.
