William Blake

Blake's trade as an engraver was an important means of livelihood, for his pictures and his poetry were not widely accepeted during  his lifetime. His talent for sketching is seen in his illustrations not only of his own poems but of specially decorated editions of Milton's Paradise Lost, Dante's Divine Comedy, and the Book of Job. His Songs of innocence and Songs of experience pointed out the need for both childhoold's innocence and the wisdom - however painful and disillusioning - gained by experience. The poems below show this constrast.
The Lamb
The Tyger
The poem The sick rose shows the lost of the innocence.
