In Reply to: Blake : Didatic or Ironic? posted by Desiree Guillaumier on December 22, 1998 at 15:53:57:

: I was reading critical books on Blake [Songs of Innocence and Experiance] and one of them said that in the poems where Blake addresses children, Blake can be didactic and he uses the last line in the poem 'The Chimney Sweeper [of Innocence] which is 'So if all do their duty they need not fear harm', to prove it. I always umed that this was not Blake being didactic but ironic in a way of not agreeing. This idea of Blake being ironic and not didactic is also in many other crits as well as how it is potrayed in my lectures. What is your opinion?
I realy thought it needs more work. I just din't
like it that much.
