William Blake
I
INTRODUCTION
William Blake (1757-1827), English poet, painter, and engraver, who created an unusual form of illustrated verse; his poetry, inspired by mystical vision, is among the
most original, lyric, and prophetic in the language.
Your spring & your day are wasted in play,And your winter and night in disguise. Both series of poems take on deeper resonances when read in conjunction. Innocence and Experience, “the two contrary states of the human soul,” are contrasted insuch companion pieces as “The Lamb” and “The Tyger.” Blake’s subsequent poetry develops the implication that true innocence is impossible without experience,transformed by the creative force of the human imagination.

INTRODUCTION
Kate Greenaway's May Day

Johnson recovered, firstpassing Boldon and then, at the 80-meter mark, overtaking the Namibian.
