             Pg 510) However, the adults were also once children, and in
             childhood, happiness differs from those of the full-grown.
             As a child, happiness is based not on law and reason, but on
             love, protection, and peace. As an adult, however, one must
             follow the rules of law and order. Frye also said this of
             the experienced world; "As adults, the law and order is the
             basis both of reason and society, without it there is no
             "The Songs of Innocence does not seem to be songs only
             about innocence, but by innocence." (Ferber, Pg 2) This can
