答案His first collection of poems Poetical Sketches is one of youthful verse with joy, laughter, love and harmony as its prevailing notes. The second volume of his Songs of Innocence presents a happy and innocent world. And the third—Songs of Experience paints a different world,a world of misery, poverty, disease, war and repression with a melancholy tone. The last two hold the similar subject-matter, but their tone, emphasis and conclusion differ. Childhood remains central to the poet’s concern in the two, with a number of poems from them can be pairs. For example, the two poems both entitled "Chimney Sweeper" are such pairs,for the one in the Songs of Innocence indicates the conditions of the exploitation of child labor, which make religion a consolation, but the one in the Songs of Experience reveals the true nature of religion which helps bring misery to the poor children. The maturity of Blake’s poetry is shown in his poem Marriage of Heaven and Hell in which the relationship of the contraries is explored, for in the poet’s eyes, "Without contraries, there is no progression". William Blake also wrote many prophetic poems. Blake took "This World" as "A World of Imagination and Vision", declaring that "the nature of my work is visionary or imaginative". Though in that case, his poetry is written in plain and direct language.
