Blake's Faith

I found the contrast between the songs of innocence and experience very interesting. A reoccurring theme throughout the songs of innocence was a belief and trust in God. However, the songs of experience frequently depict images of death and despair. The titles of each group of songs led me to question if Blake was a practicing Christian. It is almost as if he is saying that as one goes through life it becomes harder and harder to maintain faith in God.
