William Blake's 'Songs of Experience'

Abstract: A 5 page paper that takes the view that Blake believes the enjoyment of life is tainted by circumstances and religion. As an advocate against poverty, Blake's view of Eve's fall from grace takes on the dimensions of the wandering and abused Lycra. Blake's collection identifies those things that brought him joy and those things that were anathema to a true enjoyment of life. By the end of his life, his emotions are shielded in defense. No additional sources cited.
