To this dualistic view he had a vision based up of 'complementary opposites': good and evil, male and female. So he realized the editions of Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience.
In the Songs of Innocence he explains that The Lamb is an innocence and harmony animal, and he asks himself  "who made thee?". There is so the identification of the lamb with Christ.
In the Songs of Experience the animal evoked is a tyger: a frightening and strong animal.  The poem ends with a question which casts a doubt on the possibility to understanding the universe.
