The line "'Twas mercy brought me from my Pagan land," in the poem "On being brought from Africa to America" and the line "Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand" in the poem "The new colossus" underscores the theme about America being a land of foreigners.
<h3>Why is this theme highlighted?</h3>
- Because it reinforces that many people do not live in their homelands but in America.
- To reinforce how much foreigners do not intend to return to their homelands.
Although both poems underscore how America is home to many foreigners, the context in which this is addressed in each poem is different.
In "On being brought from Africa to America" the author is an African woman enslaved and brought to America by force. This shows that the woman is not a foreigner of her own volition, but the system into which she has been inserted prevents her from not seeing America as her home.
In "The new colossus" the author is a refugee woman, who saw America as an option to escape her country's problems and found in the country, of her own free will, a home where she feels good.

Blake is considered a visionary because he incorporates art into his poetry to add a second layer of meaning. His style of art and engraving in his poems paved the way for lots of new literary art types. This is the most important point which shows that Blake is a visionary. I assume that the church was just as important as it typically was in older times, so his questioning of the church is revolutionary and quite rebellious. As a Romantic it makes sense that he would, and as a poet it is quite fitting that asks questions of the deepest soul in a lyrical and hidden form.
