Description One of the great English Romantic poets, William Blake was also an artist, mystic, and visionary.
Throughout his life Blake drew on a rich heritage of philosophy, religion and myth.
His work ranges from the deceptively simple and lyrical Songs of Innocence and their counterpoint Experience--which juxtapose Poems such as "The Lamb" and "The Tyger," and "The Blossom" and "The Sick Rose"--to highly elaborate, apocalyptic works, such as The Four Zoas, Milton and Jerusalem.
