Another's Sorrow William Blake
Another's Sorrow About the Poet : William Blake ( 1757-1827 ) was born i London . He was painter , engraver as well as poet , often combining all his arts in the production of his works . A mystic , Blake often had moments of ecstasy during which he saw visions and wrote under a spell . His rejection of literary tradition , his development of new and energetic mythology , his imaginative exploration of the human psyche and his literary war against restraint and moderation in all forms of human experience mark him as one of the first romantic poets in English Literature . Blake's evangelical mission and apocalyptic vision impelled him to create a new composite art form , consisting of language and design . The verbal and pictorial symbols and images which he created for his system were personal and highly ambiguous.Blake's best work includes . Poetical Sketches ( 1783 ) , Songs of innocence ( 1789 ) , Songs Experience ( 1794 ) and Jerusalem Poetical Sketches ( 1783 )
