      I guess you know a lot about Willam Blake, so I dare to ask you and seek your advice. I am interested in mystique and in mystics from all cultures and religions. Very much mystics said that sexuality is better avoided, but I read some words of Blake, where he had another opinion. Are there writings of Blake, where he shares more about that. If you answer, I ask you to write in simple English, for I am not familar to it. God bless you!

    *Poet and Artist William Blake was unappreciated during his time*
    He saw ecstatic visions of angels and saints, and spoke to the dead. In his day, *many considered him mad*. But we love and admire William Blake now, and recognize him as a visionary.

    well, if you can't see it cus you're on mobile or something, here:
    He saw ecstatic visions of angels and saints, and spoke to the dead.
    He believed the Archangels were fans of his work.
    He once painted the Ghost of a Flea, which he claimed to have seen firsthand.
    William Blake was a madman.
    At least, that was the popular opinion of his contemporaries.
    William Wordsworth wrote “There was no doubt that this poor man was mad, but there is something
    in the madness of this man which interests me more than the sanity of Lord Byron and
    Walter Scott.”
    Was William Blake indeed insane?
    Or, as eulogized by John William Cousin, was he “a truly pious and loving soul, neglected
    and misunderstood by the world, but appreciated by an elect few?”
    The test of time has been kind to William Blake.
    He is now hailed as a visionary poet and artist.
    William Blake, one of seven children, was born on November 28th, 1757, to James and
    Catherine Blake.
    The Blakes resided in London, and William lived in the family home on Broad Street in
    Soho until he was 25.
    His education was unorthodox - he left school at the age of 10, having learned to read and
    write, and thereafter was self-taught, with guidance from his mother.
    He read primarily from the Bible and other theological treatises, which would influence
    his work for the rest of his life.
    Even from an early age, Blake showed a great sensitivity to art, poring over books of prints
    from the masters Raphael and Michelangelo.
    Blake began attending drawing classes, and at the age of 14, was apprenticed to an engraver,
    James Basire.
    There is a peculiar story associated with Blake’s apprenticeship.
    Basire was not the first choice of William’s parents.
    They had originally selected William Ryland, the royal engraver, to serve as young William’s
    mentor.
    But something about the man’s looks disturbed William Blake, who told his father the engraver
    was sure to be hanged as a criminal.
    His father took William’s words to heart, and placed him with a different mentor.
    Oddly, years later, Ryland WAS hanged as a forger.
    Under Basire’s guidance, Blake learned a somewhat old-fashioned technique of engraving,
    which may have hampered his popularity during his lifetime.
    Still, Blake fed his imagination during his apprenticeship, visiting Gothic churches,
    and publishing his first volume of verse, called “Poetical sketches.”
    At the end of his apprenticeship, at the age of 21, Blake became a student at the relatively
    new institution, the Royal Academy of Arts, which was at that time directed by the influential
    painter Sir Joshua Reynolds.
    Blake’s views on art differed from Reynolds, and he found himself a reactionary in this
    environment, preferring the classic works of Michelangelo and Raphael he so loved as
    a child, to the newer fashionable painters of the day.
    Still, Blake was able to begin showing his own work while at the Royal Academy.
    During this time, William Blake also met his wife, Catherine, whom he taught to read and
    write after they were married.
    William Blake then embarked on his career as a professional engraver.
    In 1784, Blake and a partner, James Parker, opened a print shop, turning out mainly radical
    political pamphlets.
    They enjoyed some success, and the print shop was a favourite haunt of such luminaries as
    Thomas Paine, Joseph Priestley, and Mary Wollstonecraft.
    Meanwhile, William Blake began experimenting with new engraving techniques for his own
    writings.
    He invented “relief etching,” a kind of reverse engraving on copper plates where the
    background is dissolved away with acid, leaving the words and pictures to stand out.
    “Songs of Innocence,” one of the first books by William Blake illuminated in this
    style, was published in 1789.
    An expanded collection, “Songs of Innocence and of Experience Showing the Two Contrary
    States of the Human Soul,” was published 5 years later.
    The poems explore the innocence of childhood and the delicate balance between knowledge
    and corruption.
    At first glance, the simple lyric poems resemble writing for children, but the subject matter
    often dealt with society’s ills and social inequities.
    Blake’s poems and the accompanying artwork present a rich experience where one enhances
    the enjoyment and understanding of the other.
    Blake continued his philosophical investigations into the nature of good and evil in his later
    works, which included “The Marriage of Heaven and Hell,” “Visions of the Daughters of
    Albion,” “Milton,” and “Jerusalem.”
    In his writings, Blake rejected what he saw as the corruption of the Industrial Revolution
    in his England, writing of “dark satanic mills” and celebrating the beauty of nature.
    He scoffed at the feeble efforts made thus far to understand our world, stating “If
    the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite.”
    William Blake and his wife Catherine lived happily together for many years, despite some
    financial hardship.
    Catherine assisted William, and together they produced a remarkable body of writing and
    illustrations.
    Unfortunately, his work with engraving materials may have taken a toll on William Blake’s
    health.
    He suffered for years from an unknown ailment, with stomach pain and muscle weakness.
    These symptoms are consistent with biliary cirrhosis, which can be caused by prolonged
    exposure to toxins, such as the fumes produced when acid eats away at copper.
    Blake continued to work up until his death, expressing no fear about his own mortality.
    A friend wrote of Blake’s last moments: “He said He was going to that Country he
    had all His life wished to see & expressed Himself Happy hoping for Salvation through
    Jesus Christ-Just before he died His Countenance became fair-His eyes brighten’d and He
    burst out in Singing of the things he Saw in Heaven.”
    William Blake died on August 12th, 1827 and was buried in Bunhill Fields, the resting
    place in London set aside for nonconformists.
    William Blake is now celebrated as a favourite son of England.
    The “Jerusalem” lyric from the preface to his epic poem “Milton” was set to music
    by Sir Hubert Parry in 1916, and is now considered the unofficial national hymn of England:
    I will not cease from mental fight, Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand,
    Till we have built Jerusalem In England’s green and pleasant land.”

    Thank you for your thoughts on Blake. I would also say that as we see the rise of world consciousness (for example in the exposures of economics and politics and acceptance of spiritual development free of religious practices) prophets from our past will be greatly revered for paving the way. Like Shakespeare he described his enlightenmed vision via poetry, perhaps to avoid charges of blasphemy - today they both would be holding seminars. In the East there was always an honoured place for the mystic, we are slowly realising that need.

    Most of his paintings are quite simple yet brilliant, but the Vision of the last judgement is probably his masterpiece, while his signature painting for me would have to be his mocking of Newton.

    Harold Bloom did a more than respectable job handling William Blake’s legacy and explaining the revolutionary aspects. Blake is more complex than he first seems and it took some persistence and sitting with before it clicked in me with where he’s coming from. There’s a darker sort of heretical undercurrent that gives it an edge and really sets him apart from what everyone else was doing at the time.

    "What is the Price of Experience?" has to be one of Blake's greatest poems. Timeless, thought-provoking and powerful - like so much of his masterly work, it reminds us of life's injustices and the need to face them. Simon Paxton has recorded it here: th-cam.com/video/8GV3gqxHF2c/w-d-xo.html

      Interesting question. At least the Symphony no. 40 is in G minor, lending an ominous tone, but ya, why Mozart?

    Anton LaVey appreciated him. It's a common Christian lie to claim of deathbed conversions to Christianity.

    the same sociaty/orginization that praises him now damned him through his life.

      You could experiment with playing the video back faster, if you really need it to be faster. This is a function built in to various third-party platforms that add extra functions to TH-cam.

      Hi +Nailogical 1! This is a great question. Have you heard of Romanticism? William Blake is considered one of the Romantic poets/artists. This movement focused on imagination, freedom of thought and expression, and celebrating nature.
