Publisher's Synopsis
"The Song of Innocence and Experience" is a collection of illustrated poems by William Blake. It appeared in two stages: In 1789, Blake himself printed and printed some of the first copies; five years later, he combined these poems with a new set of poems, whose volumes were titled "Song of Innocence" and "Showing The experience of two opposite states of the human soul. Blake was also a painter before creating "Song of Innocence and Experience", having painted Oberon, Titania and Puck dancing with fairies."Innocence" and "experience" are the definitions of consciousness, which rethink Milton's "heaven" and "autumn" mythological states of existence. Usually, the interpretation of this collection revolves around the dualism of mythology, where "innocence" stands for "fallen world" and "experience" stands for "fallen world".
