Re-edition of a collection of Blake's poetry translated by Jiří Valji. William Blake (28 November 1757 - 12 August 1827). English poet, graphic artist, artist, philosopher, inventor. One of the most distinctive and original figures of Romanticism. Revolutionary and critic of the social order. His work combines that of a poet, mystic and visionary with that of a painter and, above all, a draughtsman and graphic artist. William Blake was an experimental poet and artist, his work grew out of discontent, combining philosophical resistance with a search for new means of expression. Blake's mythological system is as distant from us today as ancient mythology, just as it ceased to be a theological fact and became an artistic fact. His work remains alive with those artistically powerful values to which his mystical outlook impelled him: the courage to think independently about dogma, the concrete yet philosophical poetic vision, and the human passion of the artist for whom nature is dead if there is no man in it. Blake also influenced many 20th century artists. His line, "If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would be revealed to man in its infinite essence" inspired Jim Morrison to name his band The Doors.
