Erich Nolan CMLT-C205 3/19/12 A Comparison of Blake’s Poems “The Divine Image” and “The Human Abstract” William Blake (1757-1827, London) is considered the first of the great English Romantic poets; he was also a master engraver, a printer, and a painter. Blake was not widely known during his life and it wasn’t until some time after his death that his poetic works became widely read. Two of his best-known works “Songs of Innocence” (SoI) and “Songs of Experience” (SoE) contain the poems
but they do share one main similarity: In both accounts, a divine authority created the world and everything in it, with the most important creation being human beings. Other than this, the differences in the accounts are numerous.
