Description
Explore the brilliant world of William Blake, a pioneering poet and artist whose revolutionary work transcended the Romantic era, showcasing a unique vision of life, nature, and the human experience. Born in Soho in the 18th century, Blake's artistic journey began early, influenced by his upbringing as the son of a shopkeeper. Renowned today as a radical left-field artist, his legacy was recently spotlighted in a Tate exhibition that described it as 'magnificent,' revealing his vivid and distinctive perspective on art and poetry.
This brand new edition (ISBN: 9781474625715) captures Blake's profound thoughts in a durable B-format paperback for easy reading and enjoyment. The collection features a diverse range of works that exemplify the joyful and sorrowful, childlike and complex themes central to Blake's creativity.
His poetical brilliance is encapsulated in lines such as, 'To see the world in a grain of sand, and to see heaven in a wild flower.' This phrase not only highlights his belief in the divine presence within the ordinary but also invites readers to find infinity contained in the smallest details of life. Blake’s provocative statements, like, 'If the Sun and Moon should ever doubt, they'd immediately go out,' challenge the reader to embrace certainty in their existence.

'To see the world in a grain of sand, and to see heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hands, and eternity in an hour' William Blake
William Blake was a poet and artist. Born in Soho in the eighteenth century, the son of a shopkeeper, he is now acclaimed as a radical left-field artist. Most recently, the Tate held an exhibition of his work: 'Magnificent ... reveal's Blake's vision at its most vivid and strange' GUARDIAN
Blake's written work was equally vivid. A major poet of the Romantic age, the full range of his poetry includes the joyful and sorrowful, the childlike and complex - and illustrates his original and prophetic vision. Considered mad by contemporaries for his idiosyncratic opinions, he is now revered for the depth of his poetry and art, and the philosophical undercurrents intrinsic to all his creative work.
'If the Sun and Moon should ever doubt, they'd immediately go out'
'The imagination is not a state; it is the human existence itself'
