    The Pure Simplicity of Deep Meaning This poem begins with a question addressing a lamb by a child asking about its creator in “The Lamb”. The poem starts off with the question “little lamb, who made thee?” William Blake does not hesitate to bring the title into place. The lamb represents purity and innocence; children are innocent as well which makes the lamb and the narrator have a connection. Later we learn that the lamb and the narrator have the same creator. This goes along the same context…
