Songs of Innocence/Experience
Songs of Innocence and Experience
▪ The Songs of Innocence were published by Blake in 1789, and he produced a combined version of Songs of Innocence and of Experience in 1794. The Songs are now often studied for their literary merit alone, but they were originally produced as illuminated books, engraved, hand-printed, and coloured by Blake himself. The text of the poem and the accompanying illustration formed an integrated whole, each adding meaning to the other.
to the poor children.
Where are thy father & mother? say?
They are both gone up to the church to pray.
Because I was happy upon the heath, And smil'd among the winters snow: They clothed me in the clothes of death, And taught me to sing the notes of woe.
▪ And because I am happy & dance & sing,
of his own and other’s work.

▪ 在《天真之歌》中，诗人以“羔羊”为中心意象，组成一个欢乐、 善良、和谐的农业文明图景：牧童吹着欢乐的短笛，歌声荡漾在
青草地上；孩子在荒野中迷了路，上帝就化身为父亲将他送回家
去；小蚂蚁迷了路，萤火虫打着灯笼送它回家；羔羊在吃草，狮 子在羊栏边徘徊了一阵，流下“金色的眼泪”，终于躺下来和它睡 在一起……而在《经验之歌》中，诗人则以“老虎”为中心意象， 展现现一幅正在生长中的痛苦、邪恶、分裂的现代工来文明图景
：田野一片荒芜，道路长满荆棘；孩子们论落街头，挨家挨户扫
烟囱；士兵们在流血叹息，妓女们在夜半的街头诅咒；街道和河 流“专利”化，“残酷、妒忌、恐怖和隐秘”代替了“爱、仁慈、怜悯 与和平。”
