William Blake's poems, Holy Thursday, divided into two different
poem. One is about the innocence. The other one is about experience.
The one about the innocence is talking all the good things. It
seems to be full of happiness. The children walking in colors. The grey headed
beadles walked with wands. A group of people sit together with radiance.
Children are singing songs. The poor are guarded. Everything is so great. Everyone
is happy.
The other one about experience is talking all the bad
things. The babies reduced to misery. The crying seems like not a song of joy. It
talks about the poor.
Compares two of the poem, the themes are totally different.
There are some things which character is the same, like children. But the
children in innocence are happy, the children in experience are sad. In my opinion,
William Blake was trying to make the difference very obviously. And every time
the readers will get his thought that he showed in a very strong way. And we
can see the bad things more clear when we got a very happy thing to compare. William
showed a very bad world that full of misery, dark, poverty, and cold. And he
showed this because he want to change the bad world, make it become the world
of happiness.
