Description
At one point seen as strange, or even insane because of his idiosyncratic views, William Blake is now considered to be one of the greatest British poets who ever lived, his remarkable command of visual artistry and deep philosophical connection to topics related to the mysteries of human existence, Blake managed to create an entirely unique world through his poetry.Although Blake was quite spiritual-minded as an individual, his dislike of the established Church made him an artist who wasn’t easily influenced by the ideals and beliefs of his time. A true visionary in his own right, he was largely classified as Romantic, but the remarkable originality of his work made it quite difficult to label him under any type of genre or influence.Poems of William Blake is a collection of poems that will take you back to an era when the description of a summer’s day or the innocence of childhood were truly topics worth depicting in the poetry of the time. Blake managed to take even the simplest, most seemingly trivial of images and transform it entirely. His use of imagery was fraught with his frequent use of symbolism, as Blake even went so far as to consider imagination as the “body of God.”These enchanting poems will make you feel and think at an entirely different level, heightening your senses and challenging your imagination to enjoy the “fearful symmetry” of the tiger in “The Tyger” or feel the poet’s intense range of emotions of frustration, anger and indignation in poems such as “The Poison Tree.”As you explore a full spectrum of themes and topics that William Blake explores through his many visually enchanting and emotionally intense poetic works, you’ll find that Blake manages to open the door to many concepts that go far deeper that what can be read on the surface. If you enjoy works of poetry that move you and challenge your thinking at its core level, you will find no difficulty falling in love with the Poems of William Blake.
