(P/B) THE SELECTED POEMS OF WILLIAM BLAKE

Παρουσίαση

Introduction, Notes and Bibliography by Dr Bruce Woodcock, Senior Lecturer in English, University of Hull.
William Blake was an engraver, painter and visionary mystic as well as one of the most revolutionary of the Romantic poets. His writing attracted the astonished admiration of authors as diverse as Wordsworth, Ruskin, W.B.Yeats, and more recently beat poet Allen Ginsberg and the 'flower power' generation. He is one of England's most original artists whose works aim to liberate imaginative energies and subvert 'the mind-forged manacles' of restriction.
This volume contains many of his writings, including: 'Songs of Innocence', 'Songs of Experience', 'The Marriage of Heaven and Hell', and a generous selection from the Prophetic Books including 'Milton' and 'Jerusalem'. (From the publisher)

Poems from THE ROSSETTI MANUSCRIPT, Part I
Never seek to tell thy Love
I laid me down upon a Bank
I saw a Chapel all of Gold
I asked a Thief
I heard an Angel singing
A Cradle Song
Silent, silent Night
I fear'd the fury of my wind
Infant Sorrow
Why should I care for the men of Thames
Thou has a lap full of seed
In a Myrtle Shade

You don't believe
If it is true what the Prophets write
I will tell you what Joseph of Arimathea
Why was Cupid a boy
Now Art has lost its mental charms
I rose up at the dawn of day
The Caverns of the Grave I've seen
