Songs of Innocence and of Experience: Shewing the Two Contrary States of the Human Soul (1794) is arguably William Blakeās most well-known poetic composition. The Lamb and the Tyger function as complementary symbols of the protection and corruption of innocence, respectively. Much of Blakeās other poetry concerns his politics, visions, and self-invented mythology.
