The Sick Rose
O Rose, thou art sick!
The invisible worm
That flies in the night,
In the howling storm,
Has found out thy bed
Of crimson joy:
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy.

William Blake

1757-11-28 — 1827-08-12 · Londres

William Blake was an English poet, painter, and printmaker whose visionary works explored profound spiritual and philosophical themes. He is renowned for his prophetic books, which combine his unique mythology with his distinct artistic style, often characterized by intense symbolism and imaginative power. Blake's work defied easy categorization, blending elements of Romanticism with his own highly personal brand of mysticism. His poetry, such as "Songs of Innocence and of Experience," continues to captivate readers with its exploration of dualities like innocence and corruption, joy and sorrow, and the spiritual and the material.
