In London, we also see both clues to a reader about the poems revolutionary intent, and to the ideals Blake wishes to present. We see his careful use of an acrostic, spelling out the word "Hear". This again, would speak to an informed reader, and invite them to "Hear" what may not be first clear. This then primes them to understand the deeper meaning behind Blakes words, like the phrase "blood down palace walls", which is likely to be an allusion to the then recent storming of the bastille during the French revolution.
