Songs of innocence and experience

The titles from episode 6x02 and 6x03 have been released, 6x02 is called songs of innocence and 6x03 songs of experience, indicating the episodes might be connected.

With a little research (meaning looking into wikipedia) i found out that songs of innocence and experience is an collection of poems by William Blake.





The wiki entry reads “"Innocence" and “Experience” are definitions of consciousness that rethink Milton’s existential-mythic states of “Paradise” and the “Fall.” Blake’s categories are modes of perception that tend to coordinate with a chronology that would become standard in Romanticism: childhood is a state of protected innocence rather than original sin, but not immune to the fallen world and its institutions. This world sometimes impinges on childhood itself, and in any event becomes known through “experience,” a state of being marked by the loss of childhood vitality, by fear and inhibition, by social and political corruption, and by the manifold oppression of Church, State, and the ruling classes.“

Something tells me that this is a hint to the Dilaurentis family and the way they treated their children.

However the more interesting part lies within the names of the poems:

“Songs of Innocence was originally a complete work first printed in 1789. It is a conceptual collection of 19 poems, engraved with artwork.
