Processed by: Alice Egan, 1997, and Helen Young, 2001 RLIN Record ID: TXRC Table of Contents Biographical Sketch Scope and Contents Item List Biographical Sketch William Blake, born November 28, 1757, in London, was a poet, engraver, and painter. He was first educated at home, and in 1767 was sent to Henry Pars' drawing school in London, where for four years he drew copies of plaster casts of ancient sculptures. This was followed by an apprenticeship as an engraver with James Basire, an engraver to the London Society of Antiquaries. During his apprenticeship, Blake was sent to make drawings of monuments and tombs in Westminster, where he acquired a taste for Gothic art. In 1779 Blake began studies as an engraving student at the Royal Academy, where he associated with the sculptor John Flaxman and the painters Thomas Stothard and Henri Fuseli. Blake painted from his imagination, which was stimulated from an early age by visions of angels, monks, and various historical figures. In 1782 Blake married Catherine Boucher. He taught her to draw and paint and she became his assistant. With his wife and younger brother Robert, Blake opened a print shop in 1784. In 1787 Robert Blake died, and afterwards William Blake had a vision in which his brother revealed to him a new technique of relief etching by which text and illustration could be printed from one plate. The following year Blake used his new technique as he began work on

84. William Blake (1757-1827) Quotes William Blake Quotes. To generalize is to be an idiot. What is now proved wasonce only imagined. It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend. http://www.phnet.fi/public/mamaa1/blake.htm

William Blake Quotes To generalize is to be an idiot. What is now proved was once only imagined. It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend. He whose face gives no light shall never become a star. No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings. He who desires but acts not, breeds pestilence. If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite. To see the world in a grain of sand, And a heaven in a wild flower; Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour. Exuberance is beauty. The weak in courage is strong in cunning. A fool sees not the same tree that a wise man sees. To me this world is all one continued vision of fancy or imagination, and I feel flattered when I am told so. What is it sets Homer, Virgil and Milton in so high a rank of art? Why is the Bible more entertaining and instructive than any other book? Is it not because they are addressed to the imagination, which is spiritual sensation, and but immediately to the understanding or reason? He who binds to himself a joy doth the winged life destroy. But he who kisses the joy as it flies lives in Eternity's sunrise.

Blake, William Blake, William (b. Nov. 28, 1757, Londond. Aug. 12, 1827, London) English poet, painter, engraver; one of the earliest and greatest figures of Romanticism . The most famous of Blake's lyrical poems is Auguries of Innocence , with its memorable opening stanza: To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour. (Biographie en français) "I do not behold the outward creation... it is a hindrance and not action." Thus William Blakepainter, engraver, and poetexplained why his work was filled with religious visions rather than with subjects from everyday life. Few people in his time realized that Blake expressed these visions with a talent that approached genius. He lived in near poverty and died unrecognized. Today, however, Blake is acclaimed one of England's great figures of art and literature and one of the most inspired and original painters of his time. Blake was born on Nov. 28, 1757, in London. His father ran a hosiery shop. William, the third of five children, went to school only long enough to learn to read and write, and then he worked in the shop until he was 14. When he saw the boy's talent for drawing, Blake's father apprenticed him to an engraver. At 25 Blake married Catherine Boucher. He taught her to read and write and to help him in his work. They had no children. They worked together to produce an edition of Blake's poems and drawings, called

William Blake (1757 - 1827) Considered insane and largely disregarded by his peers, the visionary poet and engraver William Blake is now recognised among the greatest contributors to English literature and art. He was born in Soho, London, where he lived most of his life, and was son to a hosier and his wife, both Dissenters. Blake's early ambitions lay not with poetry but with painting and at the age of 14, after attending drawing school, he was apprenticed to James Basire, engraver. After his seven-year term was complete, Blake studied at the Royal Academy, but he is known to have questioned the aesthetic doctrines of its president, Sir Joshua Reynolds, and his stay there was brief. It nonetheless afforded him friendships with John Flaxman and Henry Fuseli, academics whose work may have influenced him. In 1784 he set up a print shop, but within a few years the business floundered and for the rest of his life Blake eked out a living as an engraver and illustrator. His wife, Catharine, whom he married in 1782, remained faithful and diligent and she helped him to print the illuminated poetry for which he is remembered today.

William Blake early visionary poet of the Romantic period William Blake is often considered a prophet that was ignored by his contemporary society. One of the earliest poets of the Romanticism movement, his poetry insisted that readers should realise their perception of reality is crafted by means other than their eyes - that if we relied on superficial vision alone we would be mislead by the myths our world presented. Many have thought Blake mad. He lived on the edge of poverty and died in neglect. Although is poetry received little acclaim while he was alive, Blake's work is now accepted as being some of the most strikingly original bodies of literary work. In addition to his poetric works, Blake was an accomplished painter and engraver. He developed a unique form of illuminated painting. Source : Classics Network Editorial Team British poet, painter, visionary mystic, and engraver, who illustrated and printed his own books. Blake proclaimed the supremacy of the imagination over the rationalism and materialism of the 18th-century. He joined for a time the Swedenborgian Church of the New Jerusalem in London and considered Newtonian science to be superstitious nonsense. Misunderstanding shadowed his career as a writer and artist and it was left to later generations to recognize his importance. To see a world in a grain of sand And heaven in a wild flower

Nov. 28, 1757, Londond. Aug. 12, 1827, London), English poet, painter, engraver, and visionary mystic whose hand-illustrated series of lyrical and epic poems, beginning with Songs of Innocence (1789) and Songs of Experience (1794), form one of the most strikingly original and independent bodies of work in the Western cultural tradition. Blake is now regarded as one of the earliest and greatest figures of Romanticism. Yet he was ignored by the public of his day and was called mad because he was single-minded and unworldly; he lived on the edge of poverty and died in neglect.
