William Blake
Largely unrecognised during his
lifetime, Blake is now considered a
fundamental figure in the history of the
poetry and visual arts of the Romantic
Age. Considered mad by contemporaries
for his views, Blake is held in high
regard by later critics for his
expressiveness and creativity, and for
the philosophical and mystical
undercurrents within his work. His
paintings and poetry have been
characterised as part of the Romantic
movement Romantic movement and
"Pre-Romantic", for its large appearance
in the 18th century.
William Blake
• The singularity of Blake's work
makes him difficult to classify.
• The 19th-century
scholar William Rossetti
characterised him as a "glorious
luminary", and "a man not
forestalled by predecessors, nor
to be classed with
contemporaries, nor to be
replaced by known or readily
surmisable successors".
William Blake
During his lifetime Blake
received no fame outside the
narrow circle of admirers, but
was "discovered" after his
death by Pre-Raphaelites. Had
a significant impact on
Western culture of the XX
century. The song "Jerusalem"
on his poem is considered the
unofficial anthem of the United
Kingdom.

Маленький мальчик в
пустынном болоте,
Влекомый блуждающим
светом,
Начал рыдать, но Бог,
всегда близкий,
Предстал, как отец, весь в
белом.
Он склонился к нему, и за
руку взял,
И, целуя, привёл его к
матери,
В то время как, бледная, в
долине пустынной,
Она искала любимого
мальчика.
K. Balmont, 1920
Маленький мальчик, устало
бредущий
Вслед за болотным огнем,
Звать перестал. Но отец
вездесущий
Был неотлучно при нем.
Мальчика взял он и
краткой дорогой,
В сумраке ярко светя,
Вывел туда, где с тоской и
тревогой
Мать ожидала дитя.
S. Marshak,1916

Во тьме ребёнок сбился с
пути,
Блуждая за огоньком.
Заплакал чуть слышно, но
рядом Всевышний —
Окутан белым плащом.
Как отец, Он за руку
малыша
К матери вёл за собой.
Тоской сражена, искала
она
Дитя в долине ночной.
S.Sukharev, 1997
Малыш за болотным брёл
огоньком
И в топь зашёл, наконец,
Он звал, кричал, и пред
ним предстал
Господь, как родимый
отец.
Целуя, он за руку вёл
малыша
Туда, где бедная мать,
Грустна и бледна, бродила
одна,
Надеясь сынка отыскать.

commemorated by a
stone that reads
"Nearby lie the
remains of the poet-
painter William Blake
1757–1827 and his wife
Catherine Sophia 1762–
1831".
