I really enjoyed his poem The Ecchoing Green because it possesses something that everyone can relate to, a sense of childhood, and a sense of innocence. It brings back childhood, a time when a child does not need to worry about the hardships and worries of life. It brings back the "green" that we, at least once, have all experienced.

The Innocence of Green
We talked about in class how there are different color printed versions of William Blake's book Songs of Innocence and Experience. I think that he had it printed in so many different ways because there are many interpretations and feeling that he wants his readers to receive because there are many different aspects of his work that can be interpreted in several different ways.

I really like the idea of green meaning innocence. It's kind of funny that it's not a color you would immediately associate with that, like white, but it does represent life and growth.
