Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience

by Blake, William

Hardcover - English

The Songs of Innocence shows how the human spirit blossoms when allowed its own free movement.

"There was no doubt that this poor man was mad but there is something in the madness of this man which interests me more than the sanity of Lord Byron and Walter Scott." -William Wordsworth
