Blake originally intended the two sets to be read together, each poem in one section finding its counterpart in the other. The Lamb answers to The Tyger; the carefree Chimney Sweeper of Innocence meets his grimmer twin in Experience. What emerges is not a simple fall from grace, but a call to see both states clearly. The poems are deceptively simple in language yet vast in implication—short enough to memorize, deep enough to return to for a lifetime.
