William Blake

WILLIAM BLAKE Poet, visionary and engraver 1757-1827 He cut words or designs on metal or stone

Main events in his life (1757 – 1827) American War of Independence French Revolution Struggle of man against tyranny

Visionary Deeply religious but far from orthodox Christianity

1789 Songs of Innocence 1794 Songs of Experience Two contrary states of the human soul

Innocence Experience World of adulthood World of childhood Tyranny Punishment Selfishness World of childhood Freedom Forgiveness Sympathy for the weak and the poor Without contraries there’s no progression

Innocence Imagination: Means to understand the injustices of the world Experience Reason: Agent of government and church to suppress Imagination Human struggle between the rules of law and reason and the powers of love and Imagination

And I know that this world is a world of Imagination & Vision. I see Every thing I paint in This World, but Every body does not see alike. To the Eyes of a Miser a Guinea is more beautiful than the Sun, & a bag worn with the use of Money has more beautiful proportions than a Vine filled with Grapes. The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the Eyes of others only a Green thing that stands in the way. Some See Nature all Ridicule & Deformity, & by these I shall not regulate my proportions; & Some Scarce see Nature at all. But to the Eyes of the Man of Imagination Nature is Imagination itself.

William Blake's Mythology Albion is the primeval man whose fall and division results in the Four Zoas: Tharmas: representing instinct and strength Urizen: tradition; a cruel, Old Testament-style god. Luvah: love, passion and emotive faculties; a Christ-like figure, also known as Orc in his most amorous and rebellious form. Urthona, also known as Los: inspiration and the imagination
