>I deliberately post old ones from other Anons to recognize their work and let them know I'm here with them and love their stuff. I post my own consistently to let them know that I'm always here with them and that they have consistent friends and allies. And I save them because I consider them treasures from all of you.

The Stranger from Paradise:

A Biography of William Blake (The Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art) 4 May 2001 by G.e Bentley (Author)

 

William Blake's wife once said of him: "I have very little of Mr. Blake's company; he is always in Paradise".

This fascinating and generously illustrated biography of the great English artist, poet, and mystic brings us

very much into Blake's company, presenting, often in the words of his contemporaries, everything that is known of his life and times.

G.E. Bentley tells us that although Blake struggled with the ways of the world in his youth and early manhood, he was always

frustrated that these ways were not his own. Instead he spoke the language of radical religious dissent, standing outside the popular

political and social conventions of his time and lamenting the power of Church and State. Blake learned to participate in traditions of

vision and piety, to exult in the power of the spirit and in visionary art and literature. He created a new gospel of art, other-worldly and

fundamentally spiritual, and in his old age, he exhibited a serenity in poverty and a devotion to the realm of the spirit that was revered

by his disciples. Blake's life bears the shape of great art itself, says Bentley. From his youthful vaulting ambitions in painting,

engraving, poetry, and music, through his mature flirtation with fortune, to his joyful return to the vision and confidence of his youth,

Blake's life provides a pattern of noble self-sacrifice and wise self-understanding that is an inspiration to his generation and to ours.

The Tyger

By William Blake

Tyger Tyger, burning bright,

In the forests of the night;

What immortal hand or eye,

Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

 

In what distant deeps or skies.

Burnt the fire of thine eyes?

On what wings dare he aspire?

What the hand, dare seize the fire?

 

And what shoulder, & what art,

Could twist the sinews of thy heart?

And when thy heart began to beat,

What dread hand? & what dread feet?

 

What the hammer? what the chain,

In what furnace was thy brain?

What the anvil? what dread grasp,

Dare its deadly terrors clasp!

 

When the stars threw down their spears

And water'd heaven with their tears:

Did he smile his work to see?

Did he who made the Lamb make thee?

 

Tyger Tyger burning bright,

In the forests of the night:

What immortal hand or eye,

Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?
