Extractions: Grafiki i obrazy Wiersze Kalendarium William Blake urodzi³ siê w Londynie jako syn poñczosznika. Z wyj±tkiem trzyletniego pobytu w nadmorskim Felpham ca³e swoje ¿ycie spêdzi³ w stolicy, zarabiaj±c na bardzo skromne utrzymanie rytowaniem ilustracji ksi±¿kowych. Od wczesnej m³odo¶ci pisa³ wiersze, które z biegiem czasu nabiera³y coraz to bardziej wizyjnego charakteru. Jako poeta sta³ siê autorem w³asnej mitologii, której bohaterom nada³ fizyczny kszta³t w licznych obrazach i grafikach. Wp³yw na jego filozofiê wywar³y dzie³a Jakoba Boehme, Johna Miltona i Emanuela Swedenborga , filozofia gnostyków, kabalistów ¿ydowskich oraz w³asne studia na Bibli±. Z powodu braku formalnego wykszta³cenia i niskiej pozycji spo³ecznej pozosta³ do koñca ¿ycia poza obrêbem literackich salonów, a jego twórczo¶æ zyska³a uznanie dopiero pó³ wieku po ¶mierci autora.

Extractions: William Blake was born 28 November 1757, third and strangest son of James Blake and his wife Catherine . His life started off weird and never improved. At the tender age of four, he had his first vision . Though his parents may have thought it was all right at first, his father was very upset William was still having them at eight. James decided, probably quite rightly, not to put William in school. He learned to read and write at home, and also showed a great aptitude for drawing. He was sent to a drawing school at age ten, and his father arranged for William to be apprenticed to an engraver as soon as he was old enough William bought every print he could possibly afford. He drew sketches of monuments throughout the London area. Oh, yes, and he also wrote some poetry. His first collection (published 1783) was the Poetical Sketches , lyric poems written between the ages of twelve and twenty. Though mostly derivative of other poets' work, these early poems show the beginnings of the Romantic ideas of emotion over form , and they're still read today, which is more than you'd expect of such early stuff. In William's case, it's the later poems that don't get read anymore. But I'm getting ahead of myself. William's work was unusual for the time: he never attempted a sonnet, as near as we can tell, and he really wasn't very good at couplets, which all of his contemporaries considered the only good forms of poetry.

Wordsworth felt that "there was no doubt that this poor man was mad, but there is something in the madness of this man which interests me more than the sanity of Lord Byron"; Ruskin also found him "diseased and wild". Since then his reputation has steadily risen, with admirers including Swinburne, Yeats and Auden. Allen Ginsberg professed to have had his life changed by a vision of Blake, as Blake's was changed by a vision of God.

http://www.literatureclassics.com/authors/Blake/

Extractions: William Blake is often considered a prophet that was ignored by his contemporary society. One of the earliest poets of the Romanticism movement, his poetry insisted that readers should realise their perception of reality is crafted by means other than their eyes - that if we relied on superficial vision alone we would be mislead by the myths our world presented. British poet, painter, visionary mystic, and engraver, who illustrated and printed his own books. Blake proclaimed the supremacy of the imagination over the rationalism and materialism of the 18th-century. He joined for a time the Swedenborgian Church of the New Jerusalem in London and considered Newtonian science to be superstitious nonsense. Misunderstanding shadowed his career as a writer and artist and it was left to later generations to recognize his importance.

Extractions: The Tiger Search all of William Blake British poet, painter, visionary mystic, and engraver, who illustrated and printed his own books. Blake proclaimed the supremacy of the imagination over the rationalism and materialism of the 18th- century. He joined for a time the Swedenborgian Church of the New Jerusalem in London and considered Newtonian science to be superstitious nonsense. Misunderstanding shadowed his career as a writer and artist and it was left to later generations to recognize his importance. 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 draughtsman, Tom Paine, William Godwin, and Mrs Elizabeth Montagu (1720-1800), married to the wealthy grandson of the earl of Sandwich.

Extractions: William Blake (1757-1827) est le point culminant esoterique de l'art figure du romantisme anglais. Ses travaux se rapprochent parfois d'une facon tres surprenante de ceux de l'Allemand du Nord Runge, de meme que ses idees, fecondees par Paracelse, Swedenborg, Lavater et surtout Bohme, offrent plus d'une concordance avec le romantisme primitif allemand. Car Blake n'etait pas seulement un artiste. Poete visionnaire, il y avait en lui quelque chose de l'esprit des prophetes et des mystiques. Il se distinguait par la meme attitude speculative et intransigeante. Sa philosophie se fondait sur l'opposition de l'imagination et de la raison, et cette antithese etait aussi a ses yeux celle du Bien et du Mal. Il n'admettait que l'intuition veritablement divine, qui transcendait la difference entre realite et surrealite. Dans ses propres ecrits poetiques-par exemple le Marriage of Heaven and Hell (``Mariage du Ciel et de l'Enfer'') de 1790-1791, ou les Songs of Innocence and of Experience (``Chants de l'Innocence et de l'Experience'') de 1789-1794-comme dans ses interpretations tres personnelles de la Bible, de Dante et de Milton, il donna a ces conceptions une expression aphoristique.
