Clearly, the black and white concepts are used as a metaphor. Tangible and intangible elements are represented in the poem, which give us a better meaning of the poem. What I interpreted from this poem is that eternity is something present in the little boy's life, and no matter what he experiences during his life, there is something beyond. The mother acts like a guide who advices and teaches him the beauty of life trough protection and love.
I have chosen the master piece Baby's Bath by Tolliver, because this situation represents the strong relationship between a mother and a child. Generally, when a mother takes his son to take a bath, she explains him what is going to happen. For example, the water is your friend or that they are going to swim in the sea, etc, always preparing him to live a good experience. The mother protects and guides her son to take a bath.The same that Blake wanted us to see in his poem.
