Extracts
1.Considered insane and largely disregarded by his peers, the visionary poet and engraver William Blake is now recognised among the greatest contributors to English literature and art.
2.“In 1789, he published his Songs of Innocence, the gentlest of his lyrics, but the collection was followed by Songs of Experience, containing a profound expression of adult corruption and repression. His long list of works shows relentless energy and drive. As one of the most complex writers known, it is impossible to summarise his career – he was a combination of extremes. His vision of civilisation as inevitably chaotic and contradictory mirrors the political turmoil of his era. It is only in retrospect that we can begin to appreciate his work and unravel its complex and allusive sources.”

The sun as hot as tempers badly frayed
Makes little lamps gleam on the holly leaves
While adults quarrel , children cannot play.
We are nervous who can we believe?
No-one knows for sure how we should live.
The sun’s as hot as tempers lost or frayed
We flinch at seeing leaders more war wage
Virtue and its family all deceased
The foetus is aborted, has no grave
On the other’s heart, lies make their raids
The MP’s strut about like children peeved
The sun as hot as tempers badly frayed
Wisdom’s not genetic, not innate
We learn from those around us only if
We dwell within the dance of love and hate
Why have madmen triumphed , power seized?
Lives are almost worthless to these thieves
The sun as hot as tempests, storms of rage
We need to move, to wander, re-engage
How my heart sings
