| Abstract | |
| Blake is a poet who is aware of the contraries manifested in life. These contraries are highlighted in his Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience. There is a strain of both innocence and experience in each of the works. The two co-exist as well as complement one another. This paper shows the instances of experience in Songs of Innocence and Experience. The meaning of innocence is not realized without the presence of experience and vice versa. Blake’s illustrations of his poems also throw light on the lurking world of experience. | |
