Organized religion and its adversity to the natural world is a topic that William Blake addresses quite frequently in his writings. In "Little Boy Lost," from Songs of Innocence, Blake presents a young child, representing the fledgling mind, getting lost in the dark forest of the material world. The illustration at the top of the page shows the little boy being led by a light or spirit of some kind, the "vapour" that Blake later speaks of.

angel freeing people from coffins. In “The Chimney Sweeper” by William Blake, both stories use concrete imagery, a strong emotional connection, and has an underlying symbolic theme of bible references to create a mood to the story. Although there are two versions to “The Chimney Sweeper” they are different in length and the family itself. “The Chimney Sweeper” uses a very specific word choice to show the concrete imagery Blake uses. “... leaping, laughing they run” (15) and “wash in the river and
