Sumario:The English poet, painter, engraver and illustrator William Blake was not understood by most men of his time. His art, until today, has multiple interpretations and inquiries because requires your public an attentive and willing look. This article aims to recover some of Blake’s biography points as his instruction, his visions and his methods, in order to contextualise the production of illuminated books Songs of Innocence and Experience. This base will allow that three of its poems are discussed in the light that glimpses of experience permeate from the beginning the verses of innocence: “Infant Joy” and the homonyms “Nurse’s Song”.
