William Blake idézet

William Blake angol költő, festő, grafikus és nyomdász.

Az angol romantikus költészet általános jegyeinek csaknem mindegyike megtalálható Blake költészetében, anélkül, hogy példátlan eredetisége csorbulna. Blake saját korában teljesen elszigetelten élt, nem ismerték mint költőt, csak mint rézmetszőt tartották számon, költészete jelentőségének felismerése majdnem egy évszázadig váratott magára, a XX. században fedezték fel, s ekkor került az őt megillető helyére az angol és a világirodalom történetében és kezdődött meg költészetének és festői, grafikai munkásságának mind a mai napig tartó legendás utóélete.

William Blake idézet: “If a thing loves, it is infinite.”

“If a thing loves, it is infinite.”

Annotations to Swedenborg (1788)
1780s

“If He had been Antichrist, Creeping Jesus,
He’d have done anything to please us”

The Everlasting Gospel (c. 1818)
Kontextus: If He had been Antichrist, Creeping Jesus,
He’d have done anything to please us;
Gone sneaking into synagogues,
And not us’d the Elders and Priests like dogs;
But humble as a lamb or ass
Obey’d Himself to Caiaphas.

“The vision of Christ that thou dost see
Is my vision's greatest enemy.”

The Everlasting Gospel (c. 1818)
Kontextus: The vision of Christ that thou dost see
Is my vision's greatest enemy.
Thine has a great hook nose like thine;
Mine has a snub nose like to mine.
Thine is the Friend of all Mankind;
Mine speaks in parables to the blind.
Thine loves the same world that mine hates;
Thy heaven doors are my hell gates.

“But to the Eyes of the Man of Imagination, Nature is Imagination itself. As a man is, So he Sees. As the Eye is formed, such are its Powers.”

Letter to Revd. Dr. Trusler (1799)
Kontextus: To the Eyes of a Miser a Guinea is more beautiful than the Sun & and a bag worn with the use of Money has more beautiful proportions than a Vine filled with Grapes. The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the Eyes of others only a Green thing that stands in the way. Some see Nature all Ridicule and Deformity, and by these I shall not regulate my proportions; and some scarce see Nature at all. But to the Eyes of the Man of Imagination, Nature is Imagination itself. As a man is, So he Sees. As the Eye is formed, such are its Powers..

“Can Wisdom be put in a silver rod?
Or Love in a golden bowl?”

William Blake The Book of Thel

The Book of Thel, Thel's Motto (1789–1792)
Kontextus: Does the Eagle know what is in the pit?
Or wilt thou go ask the Mole?
Can Wisdom be put in a silver rod?
Or Love in a golden bowl?

“Emerged into the light of day; I still & shall to Eternity Embrace Christianity and Adore him who is the Express image of God”

The Letters Of William Blake https://archive.org/details/lettersofwilliam002199mbp (1956), p. 74-75
Kontextus: And now let me finish with assuring you that, Tho I have been very unhappy, I am so no longer. I am again. Emerged into the light of day; I still & shall to Eternity Embrace Christianity and Adore him who is the Express image of God; but I have travel'd thro' Perils & Darkness not unlike a Champion. I have Conquer'd, and shall still Go on Conquering. Nothing can withstand the fury of my Course among the Stars of God & in the Abysses of the Accuser. My Enthusiasm is still what it was, only Enlarged and conform'd.

“I do not behold the outward creation”

A Vision of the Last Judgment
Kontextus: I assert, for myself, that I do not behold the outward creation, and that to me it is hindrance and not action. "What!" it will be questioned, "when the sun rises, do you not see a round disc of fire somewhat like a guinea!" Oh! no, no! I see an innumerable company of the heavenly host crying "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty!" I question not my corporeal eye any more than I would question a window concerning a sight. I look through it, and not with it.

“I look through it, and not with it.”
