Because the object of theft on this occasion is a bird in a nest, not a snare, the boy robs nature, but this is given less attention in the text than the risk and triumph of getting to the nest. These lines convey, as Christopher Ricks observes, "exultation, an extraordinary nonchalance of security." The passage is also remarkable for what D. G. Gillham calls its "hidden figures," figures that deliberately blur the distinction between the boy and features of the landscape.24 As Gillham explains, ...

5 D. G. Gillham, Blake''s Contrary States. The ''Songs of Innocence and of Experience'' as Dramatic Poems (Cambridge 1966), pp. 10-1 1 . My description of Gillham ''s interpretation is not quite accurate in so far as I imply that it is based exclusively on ''internal'' evidence. No interpretation can be based exclusively on '' internal'' evidence since no consistent distinction between semantic and encyclopaedic knowledge can be drawn, and since interpretation anyway is an attempt to make ...

13 The marked opposition between the fiercely appetitive Bromion and the obsessively ascetic Theotormon suggests the pertinence of D.G.

He explains: Its effect is to bring about the creation of an Edenic garden, presumably filled with the roses from the proverb, and an Adam figure (whose name, it will be remembered, means red earth) to inhabit it. 29 Another interesting account on the opening Argument is given by D. G. Gillham who suggests the following: The poem may be interpreted as stating that unproductive and passive men have established themselves as respectable, taking control of the civilization built up by ...

Though I-Iirsch''s actual analysis of the poems does not go as far as one might wish, his basic thesis cannot be altogether refuted, and it should be kept in mind as a necessary corrective to the tendency to treat Blake''s thought and symbolism as a coherent, monolithic system. A recent interpretation of the Songs of Innocence and of Experience sides with Hirsch against the approaches of Adams and Gleckner. D. G. Gillham in Blake''s Contrary States" asserts that “The Songs of Innocence ...
