William Blake
William Blake was an English poet, artist, and visionary who lived from 1757 to 1827. He is best known for his collection of poems and illustrations called "Songs of Innocence and Experience," which explores the contrasts between childhood and adulthood, innocence and experience, and good and evil. Blake's literary style is characterized by vivid imagery, complex symbolism, and a deep spiritual and philosophical outlook. He is considered a leading figure of the Romantic movement in literature, and his works have had a lasting impact on poetry, art, and philosophy. One of his most famous works is "The Tyger," a poem from "Songs of Experience" that explores the nature of good and evil in the world. Blake's unique blend of poetry and art has solidified his legacy as a visionary and a major influence on the development of modern literature.
