Rocio Ayala - Discussion 1B
Author: William Blake
Appears In: the Songs of Innocence
(1789)
-deals with the concept that all people are equal since they were created by God
-regardless of religion or race; these things just make us all different yet still equal
-people are unified in their differences since they are fundamentally equal
-controversial because this meant that Christians were not special in any sense
Tip:
You can recognize this poem because it mentions & describes "Mercy, Pity, Peace & Love" over & over
