Blake's Songs of Innocence quoted entire - Little Lamb, who made thee? ... He is called by thy name, for he calls himself a lamb; he is meek, and he is mild; he became a little child; I a child, and thou a lamb, we are called by his name. Neville insists Blake is not speaking of a lamb of the field, which could tell you nothing if you asked it, nor of the meat of an animal: the Lamb is the symbol of the Christ Child that comes out of the mind of man, and the poem is the symbol of the separation of the form from the lamb.
