William Blake William Blake Blake’s life Born in London on 28 November 1757 . He learnt to read and write at home In 1783 ,his first set of poems Poetical Sketches 《诗歌素描》was published. The Songs of Innocence was printed in 1789 . “The Songs of Experience” (1794) It is certainly about the most important volume of all Blake’s poetry, because it is maturer work than either “Poetical Sketches”.(1783) or “The Songs of Innocence”(1789) The poems are short and lyrical and still assume the childlike tongue and use simple language, but we could find poet’s deeper and more penetrating observation of reality. The most outstanding poem in “The Songs of Experience” (1794) is the poem “London” in which Blake utters his social criticism. It shows the miseries of the common people: “I wandered thro each chartered street, Near where the charted Thames does flow, And mark in every face I meet Marks of weakness, marks of woe In every cry of every man, In every infant’s cry of fear, In every choice, in every ban, The mind-forged manacles I hear. … Blake’s poetry Blake’s poetry has generally been divided into two groups: (1)Lyrical poems: (抒情诗 ) “Poetical Sketches”.(1783) “The Songs of Innocence”(1789) “The Songs of Experience” (1794) (2)Prophetic Books : (预言书) “Tiriel”(1789) “The Book of Thel”(1789) “Milton”(1808) “Jerusalem”(1818) “The Ghost of Abel”(1822) Writing style WB writes his poems in a direct and plain language. WB presents his view in visual images rather than abstract ideas. Symbolism in wide range is a distinctive feature of his poetry. To see a world in a grain of sandAnd a heaven in a wild flower,Hold infinity in the palm of your handAnd eternity in an hour. 一沙见世界, 一花窥天堂. 手心握无限, 须臾纳永恒. ——译者不详 一颗沙里看出一个世界，一朵野花里一座天堂； 把无限放在你的手掌上，永恒在一刹那里收藏。（梁宗岱译） 一花一世界，一沙一天国； 君掌盛无边，刹那含永劫。（李叔同） 一粒沙里有一个世界 一朵花里有一个天堂 把无穷无尽握于手掌 永恒宁非是
