The garden of love

• "I saw what I had never seen, a chapel was built in the midst"


  Religious as new and imposing, disruptive to natural order by being in the middle unavoidably new ideals
• "the gates of this chapel were shut"


  Religion as just for show and not serving it's true function, distorted and only used to oppress
• "that so many sweet flowers bore and I saw it was filled with graves"


  The natural world vs religious suffering, death of. Innocence and nature or fertility vs restricted religion
• "walking their rounds and binding with briars my joys and desires"


  Human pleasure turned to pain, plosives used and meter disturbance. Edenic imagery and misuse of nature with "braiars" as oppression of natural acts
