WILLIAM BLAKE (1757-1827) was an English poet, painter, and printmaker.  Largely unrecognised during his lifetime, Blake is now considered a seminal figure in the history of the poetry and visual arts of the Romantic Age.  His prophetic poetry has been said to form "what is in proportion to its merits the least read body of poetry in the English language."  His visual artistry led one contemporary art critic to proclaim him "far and away the greatest artist Britain has ever produced."  Although he lived in London his entire life (except for three years spent in Felpham), he produced a diverse and symbolically rich oeuvre, which embraced the imagination as "the body of God" or "human existence itself".

Although Blake was considered mad by contemporaries for his idiosyncratic views, he is held in high regard by later critics for his expressiveness and creativity, and for the philosophical and mystical undercurrents within his work.  His paintings and poetry have been characterised as part of the Romantic movement and as "Pre-Romantic".  Reverent of the Bible but hostile to the Church of England (indeed, to all forms of organised religion), Blake was influenced by the ideals and ambitions of the French and American Revolutions.  Though later he rejected many of these political beliefs, he maintained an amiable relationship with the political activist Thomas Paine; he was also influenced by thinkers such as Emanuel Swedenborg.  Despite these known influences, the singularity of Blake's work makes him difficult to classify.  The 19th-century scholar William Rossetti characterised him as a "glorious luminary", and "a man not forestalled by predecessors, nor to be classed with contemporaries, nor to be replaced by known or readily surmisable successors."

Thank you!!!
Hello, can you upload Thais of Athens by Ivan Yefremov? Kind regards!
Two Outings, then at last the return, to the meting, to the bay, by the only road that leads there.
The Letters and the introduction by Yeats are extremely interesting to read. (Yeats and Blake have more than one thing in common!)

Here's Blake early on from the letters :
"because I know that the genius that produces the designs can execute them in any manner, notwithstanding the pretended philosophy which teaches that execution is the power of one and invention of another."

Is this the earlier working of his proverb "The tygers of wrath are wiser than horses of instruction"?
