I am wondering if anyone here has studied the poetry of William Blake – especially Songs of Innocence and Ssings of Experience. I’ve wanted to study it quite some time, and n o w that I’m older, I think that it is even more relevant for me.

My understanding is that Blake wrote of us having been b open innocent, but through experience, we lost our innocence, and learn to regain that innocence. I think he believed that whilst we could not really regain our innocence, we could become happy.
