Summary
William Blake: Visions
William Blake was a genius, an exceptional poet, painter, graphic artist, mystic, visionary... far ahead of the time in which he lived, more than two centuries ago. He was an inventive and innovative rebel, in opposition to the experiences that the European spirit had known before him, and to express himself more fully, he built his mythology with his characters, symbols and allegories. His contemporaries usually did not understand his peculiar visions and views, he was comprehensible and acceptable to only a few, possibly to a few subtle spirits, such as Coleridge or Wordsworth (who said of him that he was a "sick genius"), so he was mostly marginalized and considered a freak. Simply, he was a timeless man, a man of his own with a distinct lack of sense for the usual and most normal, he denied the traditional moral principles and conventions that hinder the spirit from expressing itself fully. He had his own vision of life and rejected everything that was not in accordance with it, so he despised church teachings and belief in the afterlife as a miserable consolation for the social injustice he saw around him and preached the religion of art. infinite», which inspired Huxley for the essay The Doors of Perception, and the latter inspired Morrison and the team for the name of the band! Before Jim Morrison and Patti Smith, who mentioned him as a role model, Blake preceded Lautréamont and Rimbaud (a fantastic five in the Colorful edition!), and long before Poe, Baudelaire and Borges, he discovered the meaning of the uncanny and mysterious, but also of strange beauty, treading a path over which the shadow of time cannot fall.
