WILLIAM BLAKE - Coggle Diagram
WILLIAM BLAKE
Songs of Innocence is written in the pastoral mode with simple imagery. It deals with childhood as the symbol of innocence.
The child becomes the object of Blake’s poetry because he is closer than the adult to the original state of harmony with nature.
The world of innocence is full of joy and happiness, while the world of experience is full of cruelty and induistiche.

Blake uses complex symbolism.
However, his language and syntax are simple. He often adopts an apparently naive style, using a plain, Anglo-Saxon vocabulary, as well as repetitions, refrains and regular stress patterns which are typical of ballads and children’s songs
and hymns.
