Document Summary
The chimney sweeper living in a world of experience. On anothers sorrow : fusion, christ fully identifying with all the creatures, loves the figure of jesus as a poetic device that is completely human, going. Immanence no god up there in heaven for blake through death, great symbol of passion for blake. The lamb : the shepherd becoming a lamb, complete fusion of the child, the lamb and christ. Child speaker, telling you about his miserable life. State of mind of the speaker older than little tom, looking towards death and being set free when they die. The pastoral vision while being set in the city. Possible vision of an after life that deluded in someway, not the reality that they inhabit. Mother died and father sold him, looking towards death as a release. The speaker not innocent, he is fully aware of his state. Children trying to find happiness is other ways.
