I never realized William Blake wrote a play, or, well, scenes for a play. “King Edward III” that said, Blake’s definitely not a playwright. Ah well, “Songs of Innocence” are next!

“Songs of Experience” contains much darker images, violent themes, but uses no less beautiful language than its counterpart. Honestly, I’ll need to re-read poems from both side-by-side to truly appreciate it. Together with “Songs of Innocence” we get this beautiful duality of human nature, both idealism and wizened realism.

“Songs of Innocence” is a collection of such happy, natural beauty. It’s the perfect remedy if you ever need a pick-me-up.
“Songs of Experience” tomorrow!

Introduction complete and four poems read “To Spring” Summer, Fall, and Winter make a nice cycle of poems that welcome the first three, while wishing the fourth would end its tyranny.
