"Man, born free, is everywhere in chains." (Pg. 328) This was the basis for William Blake's poetry. Blake may have written dreams of sunny days, angels, "wise guardians," "songs of pleasant glee," little ones leaping, shouting, and laughing, but to Blake these were all "Songs of Innocence." To Blake, one had not experienced enough to "know" that life was dreadful, dreary, cruel, and merciless. The reason behind writing "Songs of Innocence," then "Songs of Experience," was to illustrate that when one is naive, they may think that life is greater than it really seems to be. Blake is intelligent for being able to articulate two versions of the same poem and, while only changing it slightly, change the whole meaning of the poem altogether. Starting with "Introduction," in "Songs of Innocence," William Blake had written of a small child asking to play a song that is cheerful, then sing happily and finish by writing it all in a book so that all who will read it may enjoy the happy songs. While this song may be a joyous melodious poem that is not the real case in the wishes of Blake. Readers will find this out in the second book "Songs of Experience," in which a second form of "Introduction" is exhibited. Th
" All are characteristics of a good and innocent animal. Another poetic duo in Blake's "Songs of Innocence" and "Songs of Experience," are "Infant Joy" and "Infant Sorrow. " This last part of the first stanza states that all will pray when they are in a rut and be returned with kindness. The fictitious tone was idea of the children doing such a cancer-inducing and filthy job. " In "Songs of Innocence," "Infant Joy" is the joyous occasion of childbirth. And he puts in strong details such as the "dread hand and dread feet" and strong ironclad objects such as the hammer and the chain. The joy of creating life and life creating joy is the heart of this poem. Blake wrote many poems with two versions to them such as "The Chimney Sweeper. But the real tone is that although there is a light, it still is dark at that time in his life. Although not directly titled the same, "The Lamb" of "Songs of Innocence" is the harmonious poem compared to "The Tyger" of "Songs of Experience. While one child cries because of the bad situation, the speaking child says to him that he mustn't think of the bad because he has dreams of an Angel who sets thousands of sweepers free from their "coffins," meaning their forced job as a chimney sweep. " While "The Lamb" seems like a naive animal that is pure like its "Softest clothing, wooly, bright," and how it has a "tender voice. Speaking upon the troubles that humans may have at times. "My mother groaned! My father wept," says the first line. " So clearly the second poem is written by Blake to show that life is not the happy place that it may seem.
