I will not cease from mental fight,

Poetry fettered fetters the human race. Nations are destroyed, or flourish, in proportion as their poetry, painting, and music are destroyed or flourish!

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.
