"Blake was a printer and published his own poems-many illustrated. In fact scholars debate which pantheon to place him: artist or poet. Because of the labor intensive and time consuming manner in which type was set my hand, Blake's poetry is extremely economic. It is this conservation of words expressing such an abundance of ideas that makes his writing profoundly simple. That combined with the fact he had visions and was probably insane makes for great poetry.
"Hear the voice of the Bard! Who Present, Past, & Future sees Whose ears have heard The Holy Word, That walk'd among the ancient trees.
Calling the lapsed Soul And weeping in the evening dew; That might controll. The starry pole; And fallen fallen light renew!
O Earth O Earth return! Arise from out the dewy grass; Night is worn, And the morn Rises from the slumbrous mass.
Turn away no more: Why wilt thou turn away The starry floor The watery shore Is given thee till the break of day.""
"William Blake became one of the most highly regarded writers and painters during his time--after his death. He was opinionated and luckily he was afforded the opportunity to express views that others were persecuted for expressing during that time in history. To fully understand his work, study his life and the societal norms of the day. Otherwise you can't fully appreciate the beauty of his ideas."
"Blake is arguably the best poet of the Romantic era. However, I doubt I would have tackled him by myself-- I have a profound understanding of him only due to an amazing professor (who had a major man-crush on Blake, by the way, so my opinion of Blake is probably biased as well)."
