	Songs of Innocence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Songs of Innocence is a collection of illustrated lyrical poetry, published by William Blake in 1789.
		Blake believed that innocence and experience were "the two contrary states of the human soul", and that true innocence was impossible without experience.
		Songs of Innocence contains poems either written from the perspective of children or written about them.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Songs of Innocence (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Of poems like “A Cradle Song” and The Lamb”; this may well be true, in that they (and others) are written in a voice with the limpidity of childhood perception; here the “innocence” of the title is portrayed as an unequivocal and valued property of the child.
		Innocence, then, is shown to us as a state to be valued, but also as one to be superseded in the gradual development of consciousness.
		Innocence, then, would be the condition allied to childhood: a condition in which we can view the natural and human world without fear, and can feel confident that we have a home in that world.

	Songs of Innocence
		The title page of the Songs of Innocence is dated 1789, yet it is almost certain that two or three of the lyrics in the Songs of Innocence collection (Holy Thursday' and 'The Little Boy Lost'), were written and engraved (in Blake's characteristic style, see Blake the Artist), earlier than 1789.
		As a whole the poems are linked by a common portrayal of the state of "Innocence", charactertised as a pre-lapsarian state, and by the imagery of children, childish joy, and by the associations with pastoral literature and the pastoral lyric, and similarity to popular religious verse for children.
		What emerges, from the Songs of Innocence as a whole is a composite portrait of Innocence in its own right, and as the counterpart to the post-lapsarian state of "Experience".

	William Blake : Songs of Innocence and Experience
		Songs of Innocence is a book filled with joy and laughter and everything seems to be fine in the end.
		In Songs of Experience there are similar poems regarding three people, however, this time, only one of the three is found.
		Songs of Innocence displays young naivety whilst Songs of Experience is an adult review of these naive writings that tell a darker side of the stories.

	DAVID AXLEROD / SONGS OF INNOCENCE
		Axlerod’s most enduring record is his 1968 solo debut, Songs of Innocence, a mind expanding musical foray into the mystical visions of 18th century English poet William Blake.
		The album’s seven orchestral songs explore the idea of innocence with cinematic sweeps of darkness and transcendent rushes of light—transporting the listener on a trip across Axlerod’s jazzy, funky, filmic and rocking musical universe.
		Songs of Innocence proves Oscar Wilde was right in believing that nothing succeeds like excess.

	Amazon.com: Songs of Innocence: Music: Hugues De Courson,Tomas Gubitsch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		De Courson's "Songs of Innocence" is a compilation of songs that weave children's choir with orchestral arrangement - a proper symbolism of children's innocence living in an 'ordered' adult world.
		Some of the songs invoke a reflective longing into your long-gone childhood, in some, you can almost feel the harshness of the environment that some children have to live in ("Barisokhanda") but yet others bring deep joy.
		The songs make you realize, in whatever language and tunes that the children sing and speak, they all belong to the same family.

		Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience (Dover Thrift Editions) by William Blake
		Blake was by profession an engraver, and his engravings for SONGS OF INNOCENCE AND EXPERIENCE are so closely bound to the text of the poems that a photocopy edition is really the only way to enjoy the poems as they were meant.
		Of the two parts, Songs of Experience is the better of the two; not only did five years give Blake's poetry just one more dash of prowess, but his topics are dealt with in a more effective and interesting manner.

		Now like a mighty wind they raise to heaven the voice of song, Or like harmonious thunderings the seats of heaven among: Beneath them sit the aged men, wise guardians of the poor.
		NURSE'S SONG When voices of children are heard on the green, And laughing is heard on the hill, My heart is at rest within my breast, And everything else is still.

		1818 and in one case five months before his death in 1827--Blake prepared a few identically ordered copies of Songs of Innocence and of Experience, thus establishing the fifty-four plate sequence which has been made familiar through almost every facsimile and print edition of the Songs.
		Editions of Songs of Innocence, usually distinguished by capital letters, are here referred to in lowercase (a-u), Songs of Innocence and of Experience in uppercase (A-AA), with the exception of the late, similarly sequenced copies (UWXYZAA) which are identified together as "@".
		The images here began as photographs of a monochromatic, posthumous copy of Songs of Innocence and of Experience (copy b, at Harvard; previously published in facsimile by Ruthven Todd in 1947); these have been scanned, then reduced to single-bit fl+white images and edited one pixel at a time to improve legibility.

	Hypertext SONGS: Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		So it is easy to forget that Blake had been assembling many copies of Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience in sometimes very different combinations for thirty and twenty-five years--that, indeed, no copy of Songs of Innocence which he issued independently follows the conventional order.
		The images of Songs of Innocence and of Experience here presented have been linked hypertextually, making it possible to proceed from any given poem to any other which followed it in any edition, looping through the various juxtapositions Blake created in the intratextual, echoing world of Songs.
		But detailed color images make for very large files which would, at present, work against the possibility of linking rapidly through the hypertext (as it is, 28.8 and under connections will not find it fast enough).

	Songs of Innocence
		If a reader can embrace Dostoyevsky's quote, "You must know that there is nothing higher, or stronger, or sounder, or more useful afterwards in life, than some good memory, especially a memory from childhood," then it is definitely hers to hold in her hand and in her heart.
		Songs of Innocence tells short stories (are they stories?) that will make you laugh or cry as surely as if they were full-length movies or a novel of that lives through the ages.
		The intimate horror of Number 95 is worth the cost of this small volume, enough to shame us, make the best of us think about what it is that we do, think, and pray for in this world.

		The film which was mired in controversy and was banned from being shot in India, is going to open the Toronto Film Festival and Kaushiki, who is oblivious to the fact that it might launch her career in the big league, says: “Water was a wonderful experience.
		The song is the popular bhajan Vaishnava jana to and Kaushiki has sung it along with her father, the legendary classical vocalist Pandit Ajay Chakraborty.
		Though it was her first brush with mainstream music, Kaushiki says it was an immensely enjoyable experience that she just might repeat again.
