他是才华横溢的诗人，又是技艺精湛的版画家；他是同时代人眼中行为乖戾的疯子，却被后世视为天才。这本英文版的The Complete Poems《布莱克诗集》为18至19世纪英国著名浪漫主义诗人威廉·布莱克（William Blake）的诗集，收录了Poetical Sketches《诗的素描》、
Songs of Innocence and of Experience《天真与经验之歌》、The Marriage of Heaven and Hell《天国与地狱的婚姻》、Milton《弥尔顿》等经典作品。

布莱克的诗质朴、清新，具有美妙的音乐性，他将一切付诸想象与形象，着魔似地沉溺于自己的想象，甚至似乎脱离了外在世界，他的执着、“疯狂”、敏感、叛逆使他过早地体验着现代文明的痛苦与失落。要与这位单纯的抒情诗人“约会”，这本诗集将是很好的选择。

One of the great English Romantic poets, William Blake (1757-1827) was an artist, poet, mystic and visionary. His work ranges from the deceptively simple and lyrical Songs of Innocence and their counterpoint Experience - which juxtapose poems such as 'The Lamb' and 'The Tyger', and 'The Blossom' and 'The Sick Rose' - to highly elaborate, apocalyptic works, such as The Four Zoas, Milton and Jerusalem. Throughout his life Blake drew on a rich heritage of philosophy, religion and myth, to create a poetic worlds illuminated by his spiritual and revolutionary beliefs that have fascinated, intrigued and enchanted readers for generations.

Review
"Blake is for strong minds...but not to have read him is to have missed one of the most rewarding experiences in English literature; and this is by far the best book to read him in."                                                                                                                        --Victor Price, BBC

"All in all, the Stevenson text surpasses its predecessors in its lucid comprehensibility and should win a wide number of readers."--Times Literary Supplement                                                                  

关于100位伟大的英国人的调查中位列第38名。他的诗歌与画作风格多变，充满迸发的激情与丰富的想象力。他对《圣经》怀有崇敬之情，却对英国国教抱有敌意，深受法国大革命和美国革命的影响。他并不热衷政治，也排斥很多政治理念，不过却与托马斯·潘恩保持着良好的关系。在世时，他曾因自己的特立独行而被同时代人视为“疯子”；去世后，诗人叶芝等人重编了他的诗集，他神启式的伟大画作也逐渐被世人所认知，于是诗人与画家布莱克在艺术界的崇高地位从此确立无疑。他的代表诗作有《诗的素描》、《天真与经验之歌》、《天国与地狱的婚姻》、《弥尔顿》等。
William Blake (1757 - 1827) was the son of a London hosier. Having attended Henry Parr's drawing school, he was apprenticed as an engraver to the Society of Antiquaries in 1772 and later was admitted to teh Royal Academy. He married in 1782 and published his first work, Poetical Sketches, in 1783. The first of his 'illuminated books' was Songs of Innocence in 1789. Blake's work over the next twenty years chart the refining of his ideas and beliefs, from a recognition of repression in Songs of Experience to his epic works Milton and Jerusalem whihc present a renewed vision of reconciliation between humanity.

TO SPRING
O thou, with dewy locks, who lookest down
Thro’ the clear windows of the morning; turn
Thine angel eyes upon our western isle,
Which in full choir hails thy approach,O Spring!
The hills tell each other, and the list’ning
Vallies hear; all our longing eyes are turned
Up to thy bright pavilions: issue forth,
And let thy holy feet visit our clime.
Come o’er the eastern hills, and let our winds
Kiss thy perfumed garments; let us taste
Thy morn and evening breath; scatter thy pearls
Upon our love-sick land that mourns for thee.
O deck her forth with thy fair fingers; pour
Thy soft kisses on her bosom; and put
Thy golden crown upon her languish’d head,
Whose modest tresses were bound up for thee!
