Night (Blake)
"Night" is a poem in the illuminated 1789 collection ''Songs of Innocence'' by William Blake, later incorporated into the larger compilation ''Songs of Innocence and of Experience''. "Night" speaks about the coming of evil when darkness arrives, as angels protect and keep the sheep from the impending dangers.
''Songs of Innocence'' was written by William Blake in 1789 as part of his Illuminated Books. Blake's aim for his ''Songs'' was to depict the two contrary states of human existence: innocence and experience. The Songs speak upon the "innocence" of being a child and the "experience" gained over a lifetime. The ''Songs'' are separated into ten different objects, with each object offering a different situation and how it is viewed from a child's perspective.
==Background ==
Blake was a non-conformist. He opposed the British monarchy and aligned his thoughts with Thomas Paine and Mary Wollstonecraft. Blake was an advocate for using the imagination over natural observations. He believed ideal forms should arise from inner visions.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.poets.org/poet.php/prmPID/116 )〕
Blake's ''Songs of Innocence'' is an illuminated anthology first printed in 1789.〔 Each poem contains an etched illustration by Blake, combining his poetry with intricate drawings. ''Songs of Innocence'' is a lyric collection that depicts an idyllic world before adulthood, where the spirit of children is still religiously pure.〔 In some of the poems in this work, such as "The Chimney Sweeper" and "The Little Black Boy", Blake uses irony and rhetoric to portray the corruption of innocence in youth. ''Songs of Innocence'' were later combined with Blake's ''Songs of Experience,'' becoming ''Songs of Innocence and Experience'' and bringing the total number of poems in the work to thirty-one. The two collections were printed combined as well as separately from 1794.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.blakearchive.org/exist/blake/archive/work.xq?workid=s-inn&java=no )〕
