Episode Synopsis

A bit more about Pope, and the amazing cleverness of Rape of the Lock.  Then on to Blake, the meaning of calling something a "Song of Innocence," some pairings between the songs of innocence and of experience, and a line by line reading of one Song of Innocence: "The Little Black Boy."  The way the poem criticizes the normativity of whiteness that the little boy has almost been induced to buy into.
