A poet, artist, and mystic, Blake declared that “I must Create a System or be enslav’d by another Man’s.” And create he did. Included in this collection are well-known poems such as “Tyger! Tyger! burning bright” and “A Poison Tree,” longer poems such as “The Everlasting Gospel,” an assortment of epigrams and short satire, and Blake’s principal prose work, “The Marriage of Heaven and Hell.”
