Replying to a comment on:

Unfinished (Lyric) by Blake

If only I might view passion rejoined Or merest sign, to lift me from abyss But peace I only find in verses coined Whilst poetic desire suffices for a kiss; Still, let this serve not to shackle you to me I intend to rise through lyric, joyously For, as such work, my sorrow cannot remain When the very caress of a hand frees the chain.

You can prefer the language all you want. You can write darling tributes to the ways of old. Many skilled writers have utilized the language or elements of it while expressing modern themes (e.g. Tom Stoppard). But you don't to that. You took a high school English lit class and were mesmerized like many of us when we were in puberty. But unfortunately you are stuck with who you are and the Romantic Age is long gone and your cheap imitations of these dead farts are just that: cheap.
