“Because I was happy upon the heath, And smil‟d among the winter‟s snow; They clothed me in the clothes of death, And taught me to sing the notes of woe.

威廉布莱克介绍

威廉布莱克William Blake (1757-1827)William Blake was a poet, artist, and mystic（神秘主义者）---a transitional figure in English literature who followed no style but his own. Blake grew up in the middle of London, surrounded by the grit （unyielding courage）and poverty of the new industrial age. His family was poor, and Blake received virtually no education as a child. When he was ten his father was able to send him to drawing school, and at fourteen he was apprenticed to an engraver (雕刻师). As an apprentice he had time to read widely and began to write the first of his poetry, realizing early that he was not content to follow the artistic and literary values of the day. （the zeitgeist (the general intellectual, moral, and cultural state of an era) of his age）In 1778, when he had completed his apprenticeship at the age of 21, Blake became a professional engraver and earned a living over the next twenty years by supplying booksellers and publishers with copperplate engravings （雕版）. In 1789 when he was 32, he published a volume of lyrical poems called Songs of Innocence. Five years later he published another volume Songs of Experience，which is a companion volume to Songs ofInnocence, and was meant to be read in conjunction with it. The two works contrast with each other. One deals with good, passivity, and reason; the other, with evil, violence, and emotion. They were the first of Blake’s books to be illustrated, engraved, and printed on copperplates by a process of his own. Blake’s engravings and paintings are an important part of his artistic expression, for the verbal and visual work together to evoke one unified impression. Blake himself manufactured all his poems that appeared during his lifetime.As Blake grew older, he became more and more caught up in (沉湎于) his mystical faith and his visions of a heavenly world. As a child he was fascinated by the Bible and by the ideas of the German mystic Jaccob Boehme. Blake’s heavily symbolic later works, including The Marriage of Heaven and Hell (1790), The Gates of Paradise(1793), and Jerusalem (1804), reflect his ever-deepening reflections about God and man. His interest in the supernatural and his imaginative experimentation with his art and verse classify him, like Robert Burns, as a pre-Romantic. During the last twenty years of his life Blake’s genius as an artist, especially evident in his illustrations of Chaucer’s Canterbury Pilgrims, Dante’s Divine Comedy, and the Book of Job, overshadowed his work as a poet.Toward the end of his life, Blake had a small group of devoted followers, but when he died at seventy his wok was virtually unknown. The Romantics praised his Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience, but the full extent of his creative genius went largely unrecognized for over half a century after his death. Although scholars today continue to puzzle over the complex philosophical symbolism of his later works, all readers can appreciate the delicate lyricism of his Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience.Maybe the best way to understand Blake is to recognize a quotation of his: “Without contrast, there is no progression.”Blake’s Songs of Innocence (1789) and Songs of Experience (1794) clearly reflect this idea. In the two groups of poems, Blake, the great poet of contraries, points out the need for both childhood innocence and the wisdom gained by experience. The two collections, which contain some of the most beautiful lyrics of English language, clearly show the contrast. Comparative studies of the poems in the two collections may help us to see the contrast that marks the progress in his outlook on life. The bright pictures of a happy world full of harmony and love inSongs of Innocence change into the dark paintings of a miserable world full of miseries and sufferings in Songs of Experience. The imagines also change with the change of ideas.William Blake is called a forerunner of the Romantic Movement. His greatness lies in his mastery of art and verse of an extreme and moving simplicity. William Wordsworth thus commented on Blake: “there is something in the madness of this man which interests me more than the sanity of Lord Byron or Walter Scott”and Blake’s lyric poetry displays the characteristics of the romantic spirit. Blake’s revolutionary passion is much similar to that of Percy Shelley. Their similarity is also shown in imagery and symbolism. His great influence was strongly felt in the romantic poems of the 19th century.An analysis of the three of his poems:“The Lamb”and “The Tiger”form a natural contrast in every possible sense of the term. The images stand as self-evident opposites, and everything else changes accordingly. The blissful, confident tone of “The Lamb，”not colored with any shadow of doubt or pain, with the pervasive pastoral setting and the comforting wooly tender assurance of God’s blessing---all these find a direct foil （陪衬）in the world of “The Tiger.”Hereinstead of the delightful bright day, there is “the forest of the night,” a reminder of a labyrinth （迷宫）wrapped up in total darkness. Then there is the description, both outright and implied, of the terribleness of the Tiger, and the harrowing question（折磨人的问题）, rather rhetorical, “Who had the art and the courage to make the Tiger?”The “he”throughout the poem refers in a progressively clearer way to the being or God who make the Lamb. The riddle or the labyrinth left to the imagination after reading the poem remains yet to be addressed. It seems to relate to the fact that life is not all rosy and bright, and that there is a downside to it as well. But the ultimate enigma（迷）may lei in the question, much deeper and more philosophical, which has not been adequately, unequivocally resolved even today, that is, Why does He place evil alongside good? Or in the more stereotyped phrasing, why does God allow evil to exit?“The Sick Rose”In this poem two images stand out one against the other---the rose and its bed of crimson joy, and the invisible worm flying over in the storm to destroy it with his “dark secret love.” Rape is apparent, but the identity of the rapist needs the power ofimagination to figure out. The criminal is powerful and irresistible, probably supernatural (“night”and “storm”) in its destructive force. The metaphor here may stand for Time (as the villain with a T) imposing upon the mortal humanity. It may stand for a repressive society versus the people, in which case social satire is at work here evidently.Another version of simpler languageBlake was the son of a London tradesman. He was a strange and imaginative child. He never went to school but learned to read and write at home. His favorite writers were Shakespeare, Milton and Chatterton.When he was 14, he was apprenticed to an engraver. His business never became prosperous, and he always lived in poverty. Blake was a lover of poetry. He devoted some of his time to writing verses. Many of his verses are nothing but accompanying commentaries for his engravings and drawings. As a poet, Blake is famous for his short lyrics. They are remarkable and highly individual. His imagination is so little controlled by fact or logic that his works at times seem to losecontract with ordinary human experience. He looks toward an anarchistic society and a religious mysticism seems to be the source of his inspiration. His poetry strikes us with its childish vision and simplicity.In his early attempt at poetry, in his first collection of poems Poetical Sketches(1783), he tried the Spenserian stanza, Shakespearean and Miltonic blank verse, the ballad form and lyric meters. He showed contempt for classicist rule of reason and a strong sympathy for the freshness of Elizabethan poetry.He is very creative, isn’t he? Maybe such is he a person as is above described that he is referred to as strange and imaginative by another writer of English literature.。

william blake的诗歌

william blake的诗歌威廉·布莱克（William Blake）是18世纪英国的一位重要诗人、画家和版画家。

他的诗歌作品独特而又富有表现力，通常涉及宗教、自然和人类心灵的主题。

在他的作品中，布莱克探索了人类存在的意义、灵魂的复杂性以及社会的不公。

布莱克的诗歌作品可以分为两种风格：一种是具象与清晰的，另一种是模糊与抽象的。

无论是哪种风格，他都热衷于使用象征、隐喻和对比手法，以便传递他深刻的思想和感受。

布莱克的一系列诗歌作品，如《天国之书》（The Book of Thel）、《无辜之书》（The Book of Innocence）和《经验之书》（The Book of Experience），反映了他对人类经验的深度思考。

这些作品以寓言形式呈现，探讨了人类天性、天堂、地狱和苦难等主题。

布莱克在这些诗歌中使用了自己创造的象征符号和画面，以帮助读者更好地理解他表达的思想和情感。

举例来说，《天国之书》中的《铸光者》（The Clod and the Pebble）是一首描写爱情的诗歌。

通过比较泥土和鹅卵石的态度，布莱克表达了对不同类型的爱之观念。

泥土代表了无私和牺牲的爱，而鹅卵石则代表自私和占有的爱。

这首诗歌充满了对人类情感复杂性的思考，在简洁的文字中呈现了丰富的意义。

布莱克的另一首著名诗作是《西南风》（The Tyger），它反映了人类理解上帝造物之奇妙的困扰。

诗歌以问句的形式提出一系列问题，探讨了创造者和创造物之间的关系。

布莱克使用强烈的视觉、听觉和意象，将读者引入对善恶、美丽和恐怖之间微妙辩证关系的探索。

此外，布莱克的《杀人蠕虫的咒语》（The Chimney Sweeper）系列诗歌描述了伦敦的烟囱清扫工人的悲惨生活。

这些诗歌揭示了工业时代社会不正义的一面，探讨了儿童权益和社会贫困的问题。

通过讲述一个受苦受难的孩子的悲惨故事，布莱克谴责了身体和心灵的压迫。

无论是诗歌还是他的版画作品，布莱克都常常使用黑暗和光明的对比，以表达他对人类存在的矛盾和复杂性的认识。
