Introduction (Blake, 1794)→ |
| Songs of Experience is a 1794 poetry collection forming the second part of William Blake's Songs of Innocence and Experience. Many of the poems appearing in Songs of Innocence have a counterpart in Songs of Experience with opposing perspectives of the world. The disastrous end of the French Revolution caused Blake to lose faith in the goodness of mankind, explaining much of the volume's sense of despair.— Excerpted from Songs of Experience on Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. |
