William Blake P Blake comenzó a escribir poesía a la edad de 12 años, y su primera obra impresa, Esbozos poéticos (1873), es una colección de poemas de juventud, en los que, entre una serie de elementos bastante tradicionales destacan pasajes que presagiaban lo que sería su estilo posterior. Como el resto de su producción, llegó a muy pocos lectores en su época. Sus poemas más populares, frescos, directos y notables por su elocuencia, fueron los que se incluían en Canción de inocencia (1789). En 1794, perdida la fe en la posibilidad de la perfección humana, el poeta publicó Canciones de experiencia , una obra en cuyos poemas utilizaba el mismo estilo lírico y retornaba a muchos de los temas de su libro anterior. De hecho, cuando se leen en conjunto, se descubre que las dos series de poemas presentan numerosas analogías. Inocencia y experiencia, "los dos estados opuestos del alma humana", contrastan en dos piezas como El cordero y El tigre , que representan respectivamente la inocencia de la niñez y la corrupción y la represión de la vida adulta. Su poesía posterior desarrolla la idea de que la verdadera inocencia resulta imposible sin la experiencia, transformada por la fuerza creativa de la imaginación humana. Europa, una profecía

66. William Blake: Songs Of Innocence And Experience Essays on 'Innocence and Experience' and 'Reading blake'. http://www.keithsagar.co.uk/blake

Keith Sagar Literary Critic and Poet If you want to read the downloads in pdf format and don't already have the free Adobe Acrobat Reader, click the logo. William Blake: Songs of Innocence and Experience When I began to study poetry fifty years ago a group of Americans called the New Critics were in the ascendant. A popular book representing their method at its best was The Well-Wrought Urn: Studies in the Structure of Poetry , by Cleanth Brooks, published in 1947. These critics developed a type of formal analysis which they tried to pass off as an objective academic discipline, though behind it lay a quasi-religious shared assumption about the relationship of art to life. They believed that art stood in opposition to life, or offered an alternative to life, providing the form and meaning which chaotic life lacked. In art man was in control and could aspire to a degree of perfection impossible in life, could create forms, for example, which would not be subject to time, decay and death. Each poem should aspire to such self-contained perfection, separate from and owing as little as possible to the world outside itself, like a well-wrought urn. Some poems responded well to this treatment, including poems by such then fashionable poets as Auden, Stevens and Empson. But the works of greater poets such as Donne, Keats, Hopkins or Yeats seemed to me to be reduced by it. It could not handle less formal verse such as Whitman's and Lawrence's. Confronted by simplicity it was dumbstruck. Their concept of a good poem was not mine. As Lawrence said, nature abhors the billiard ball, the perfect-unto-itself sealed monad, the closed system. I did not want poems to be self-contained and self-referential. On the contrary, I wanted them to release their energies into the mind and feelings of the reader, and to relate to as much of the world outside themselves as possible.

William Blake (1757-1827) English poet, painter, and engraver, who created a unique form of illustrated verse; his poetry, inspired by mystical vision, is among the most original lyric and prophetic in the language. Blake, the son of a hosier, was born November 28, 1757, in London, where he lived most of his life. Largely self-taught, he was, however, widely read. As a child, Blake wanted to become a painter. He was sent to drawing school and at the age of 14 was apprenticed to James Basire, an engraver. After his 7-year term was over, he studied briefly at the Royal Academy, but he rebelled against the aesthetic doctrines of its president, Sir Joshua Reynolds. Blake did, however, later establish friendships with such academicians as John Flaxman and Henry Fuseli, whose work may have influenced him. In 1784 he set up a printshop; although it failed after a few years, for the rest of his life Blake eked out a living as an engraver and illustrator. His wife helped him print the illuminated poetry for which he is remembered today. Much of Blake's painting was on religious subjects: illustrations for the work of John Milton, his favorite poet (although he rejected Milton's Puritanism), for John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, and for the Bible, including 21 illustrations to the Book of Job. Among his secular illustrations were those for an edition of Thomas Gray's poems and the 537 watercolors for Edward Young's Night Thoughts—only 43 of which were published.

About the poet Songs of Innocence (1789) to which was added, in 1794, the Songs of Experience (unlike the earlier work, never published on its own). The complete 1794 collection was called Songs of Innocence and Experience Shewing the Two Contrary States of the Human Soul Back to top Dictionary of the English Language ) in place of the word "and" (today this is only normal in business names). In keeping with his profession, Blake did not print his poems in type, but engraved Back to top The Little Boy Lost and The Little Boy Found The poems in detail The poet's method Both of these poems appear (together) in Songs of Innocence . The titles more or less tell the reader what the poems are about. In the first, a father leaves behind his tearful child in the dark. In the second, as the child cries, God appears, kisses the child and restores him to his mother who has been crying and looking for the boy. In The Songs of Experience are two poems called A Little BOY Lost and A Little GIRL Lost . These are both horrible, especially the former, in which a priest accuses a boy of blasphemy (for not showing God enough love), puts him in an "iron chair" and burns him to death "in a holy place" where "many had been burned before", while his parents look on and weep.

Explore Art Home Artists William Blake Born 1757, Died 1827 Draftsman, Painter, Printmaker British Talent thinks, genius sees , stated poet and painter William Blake. For Blake, art was visionary, not intellectual. He believed that the arts offered insights into the metaphysical world and could potentially redeem a humanity fallen into materialism and doubt. His belief that imagination is the artist's critical filter indicated the dawn of Romanticism , but his peers failed to recognize his genius until his later years. A hosiery salesman's son, Blake trained by attending drawing school in London in 1767, apprenticing to an engraver, and enrolling in the Royal Academy's school in 1779. During the 1780s Blake worked as a commercial engraver and publishing his poems at home. With his wife's assistance, he printed the combined illustration and text from one plate and colored the illustrations by hand or printed the colors over the black outlines. He also bound and sold his own volumes, including Songs of Innocence of 1788 and its sequel

To see a world in a grain of sand And heaven in a wild flower Hold infinity in the palm of your hand And eternity in an hour. (from 'Auguries of Innocence') William Blake was born in London, where he spent most of his life. His father was a successful London hosier and attracted by the doctrines of Emmanuel Swedenborg. Blake was first educated at home, chiefly by his mother. His parents encouraged him to collect prints of the Italian masters, and in 1767 sent him to Henry Pars' drawing school. From his early years, he experienced visions of angels and ghostly monks, he saw and conversed with the angel Gabriel, the Virgin Mary, and various historical figures. At the age of 14 Blake was apprenticed for seven years to the engraver James Basire. Gothic art and architecture influenced him deeply. After studies at the Royal Academy School, Blake started to produce watercolors and engrave illustrations for magazines. In 1783 he married Catherine Boucher, the daughter of a market gardener. Blake taught her to draw and paint and she assisted him devoutly. In 1774 Blake opened with his wife and younger brother Robert a print shop at 27 Broad Street, but the venture failed after the death of Robert in 1787. Blake's important cultural and social contacts included Henry Fuseli, Reverend A.S. Mathew and his wife, John Flaxman (1755-1826), a sculptor and draftsman, Tom Paine, William Godwin, and Mrs Elizabeth Montagu (1720-1800), married to the wealthy grandson of the earl of Sandwich.

Blake, William (b. Nov. 28, 1757, Londond. Aug. 12, 1827, London) English poet, painter, engraver; one of the earliest and greatest figures of Romanticism . The most famous of Blake's lyrical poems is Auguries of Innocence , with its memorable opening stanza: To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour. Encyclopaedia Britannica (Biographie en français) "I do not behold the outward creation... it is a hindrance and not action." Thus William Blakepainter, engraver, and poetexplained why his work was filled with religious visions rather than with subjects from everyday life. Few people in his time realized that Blake expressed these visions with a talent that approached genius. He lived in near poverty and died unrecognized. Today, however, Blake is acclaimed one of England's great figures of art and literature and one of the most inspired and original painters of his time. Blake was born on Nov. 28, 1757, in London. His father ran a hosiery shop. William, the third of five children, went to school only long enough to learn to read and write, and then he worked in the shop until he was 14. When he saw the boy's talent for drawing, Blake's father apprenticed him to an engraver. At 25 Blake married Catherine Boucher. He taught her to read and write and to help him in his work. They had no children. They worked together to produce an edition of Blake's poems and drawings, called

WILLIAM BLAKE: A HELPFILE Blake's Poetry Blake's Life and Times William Blake and English Poetry Blake the Artist Blake's work can be difficult at times, mainly because the reader is offered Blake's visions in Blake's own terms. Blake draws on a highly powerful, but essentially personal, mythological system of his own devising, but one that also draws on a variety of mythological, poetic and philosophical sources. On this, Blake himself remarked that he had to "create a System, or be enslav'd by another Man's." In part also, what Blake seeks to express can only be presented in terms of vague abstractions and allusions, with a cosmic perspective on issues of faith, religion, philosophy and belief, and this must also mean that the reader has to work hard. Yet the effort is worth it. Blake is a revolutionary and visionary artist and poet, and his work represented a decisively new direction in the course of English Poetry and the Visual Arts. Blake's works range from the deceptively simple and lyrical style of the Songs of Innocence and Experience , through speculative works such as The Marriage of Heaven and Hell , to the highly elaborate visionary and apocalyptic style of America The Four Zoas Milton and The Book of Urizen . In this Helpfile I have tried to represent each of these styles, although inevitably the longer works have had to be presented in abbreviated form. Shorter poems are presented with brief commentaries, but the longer pieces have an accompanying page of introductory notes. There are also brief accounts of 'Blake's Life and Times', 'Blake the Artist', 'Blake and English Poetry', and on 'Blake's Thought'. Please browse through in any way which you find helpful.
