Perhaps The First Modern Poet.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Selected Poetry (Oxford World's Classics) (Paperback)
Contained in this collection are most if not all of Blake's most essential works,including "The Marriage Of Heaven & Hell";the two songs,"Auguries Of Innocence"; etc..In the creative fertility of this great poet came some of the greatest lines ever written in the English language,or any language for that matter.His conjuring of visions perhaps is the first written document of modern poetry,heralding what is to come.

What immortal hand or eye,
By Shalom Freedman "Shalom Freedman" (Jerusalem,Israel) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)
This review is from: Selected Poetry (Oxford World's Classics) (Paperback)
The prophetic Blake of Zoas, Jerusalem , and the other long -poems has always escaped me.The Blake of the short memorable lyrics , of the 'Songs of Innocence and Experience' reverberates in my mind. The Blake of proverb always strikes a strong note. All the radical ideology ,and the fervor of an upturner of worlds , the solitary angry social critic too has not meant that much to me. But 'Little Lamb who made thee/Dost thou know who made thee?/ and Tyger/Tyger/ Burning bright in the forest of the night/ these fascinate as only real poetry does. Little Lamb who made thee? Dost thou know who made thee? |
