"To see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wildflower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand and eternity in an hour" - William Blake. William Blake was a poet and artist. Born in Soho in the 18th century, the son of a shopkeeper, today he is recognized as a radical artist. Recently, the Tate held an exhibition of his work: "Magnificent... reveals Blake's vision in its most vivid and strange form" - GUARDIAN. Blake's written work was equally vivid. A leading poet of the Romantic era, the full range of his poetry includes the joyful and the sad, the simple and the complex - and depicts his original and prophetic vision. Considered mad by his contemporaries for his idiosyncratic views, today he is honored for the depth of his poetry and art, as well as for the philosophical undercurrents that permeate all his creative work. "If the Sun and Moon ever doubt, they would immediately go out." "Imagination is not a state; it is the human existence itself."
