William Blake: The "Madman" Who Saw Another World

William Blake was an English poet and visionary artist whose unique work gives us a glimpse into an entirely different world. His art was ignored and neglected, and few people took his work seriously. He was generally seen as a madman.  His vivid imagination, visions and mystical experiences lead him to a spiritual task that was the exploration of his inner self. For Blake, the essence of human existence is imagination.👑 Become a Patron⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Access exclusive material and deeper studies⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠—Support the work☕⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Buy a coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠💸 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠PayPal⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠👕 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Official Merch⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠—For deeper study📜 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Full transcript⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📚 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Personal library⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠💡 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠eBooks⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🎨 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Artwork archive⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Stay connected📨 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠✍️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠—Elsewhere🐦 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📷 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📘 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠━━━━━━━━━━━━━📚 Recommended Reading ▶ William Blake: The Complete Illuminated Books https://amzn.to/3wX4FIu▶ William Blake vs. the Worldhttps://amzn.to/3MW5qs4🎧 Get a 30-day Audible Plus FREE trial (affiliate link): https://amzn.to/332zPzN━━━━━━━━━━━━━⌛ Timestamps(0:00) The Life of William Blake(13:16) The Lyrical Poems of William Blake(15:48) Prophetic Books & Mythology (21:35) 1.
