William Blake

G. K. Chesterton

In the words of G.K. Chesterton, Blake’s life of Blake would have been a tapestry of symbolic wild beasts and naked women, monstrous clouds, and colossal temples—an intricate narrative that, while perhaps incomprehensible, would never lack relevance. The most significant events of Blakes life transpired long before his birth. However, after careful consideration, I believe it’s best to share the story of Blakes life first, before delving into the context of his century. Resisting the temptation to explore the prelude to his existence is challenging, as there is much to discuss about Blake before he arrived, but I will begin with the facts of his remarkable journey.
