Some critics have suggested it is an
allegory
for Blake’s relationship to
God
and his
higher
purpose
Blake is 'hinting at the
contrary
qualities
of experience with which innocence
overlaps.'
Brendan Cooper
(Introduction to Innocence)
'The conversion of
artistic
feeling
into
words
is itself a loss of
innocence'
Brendan Cooper (Introduction to Innocence)
The poem
'allegories key stages in human life'

Kevin Hutchings
(Introduction to Innocence)
Shows the
'process
in which something is
lost
and something is
gained'
