Publisher's Synopsis
Unabridged, with grayscale plates, version of Songs of Innocence and of Experience by William Blake, offered here for chump change. Written in 1789, this classic poetry was originally hand colored on each page and is reproduced here in grayscale for a visually rich experience.
Songs includes Blake's most famous poem, "Tiger Tiger burning bright, In the forests of the night." Interesting to read and unique to Blake's poetry in this collection, are that the poems of Innocence are often counter poised with the poems of Experience.
This book of poetry is provided to the reader in a slim volume with all grayscale plates and text at an affordable price.
