Bible
after reading excerpts from both the Songs of Innocence and the Songs of Experience, I can't help but compare them to Proverbs and Ecclesiastes. There is such ethereal beauty in Innocence. But this is set in direct contrast to Experience with its weight and darkness. Rather like Solomon's writings, I think they're supposed to be read together. That's probably why they're in the same work. (Ha. Ha.) You can't have too much of one or the other or you miss out on part of life.

I think you're on to something. To me, Innocence, since it comes at the beginning of life, is meant to be read before and metered by Experience.
