Milton

William Blake

Beschreibung

William Blake's "Milton" is a profound exploration of the interplay between myth, imagination, and spiritual awakening. Written in a distinctively visionary style, this long poem articulates Blake's unique cosmology, wherein the figure of John Milton serves as both a historical figure and a mythic archetype. Through his intricate use of symbols and allegory, Blake delves into themes of divine inspiration, the nature of the human soul, and the pursuit of artistic truth, positioning Milton as a prophet and his works as vehicles of profound knowledge and enlightenment. The poem, comprising a rich tapestry of allegorical prose and lyrical verses, reflects Blake's belief in the power of creativity to transcend earthly limitations and connect with the divine. William Blake (1757-1827), a visionary poet and artist, was deeply influenced by both the Enlightenment and the Romantic movement. His radical ideas on art, sexuality, and religion were often considered ahead of his time, which shaped his literary voice. Blake's admiration for Milton, along with his aspiration to express his own mythos, catalyzed the writing of "Milton." This work encapsulates Blake's conviction that art should convey deep spiritual truths, often intertwining his personal insights with broader philosophical questions. "Milton" is an essential read for those interested in understanding the intersection of poetry, spirituality, and the creative impulse. Through Blake's visionary lens, readers will uncover a profound meditation on the nature of artistic creation and the spiritual journey. This book is not merely a poetic endeavor; it is an invitation to explore the infinite possibilities of the human imagination.

The Great Poems by African...

Phillis Wheatley, Frances E. W....

African American literature is the body of literature produced in the United States by writers of African descent. It begins with the works of such late 18th-century writers as Phillis Wheatley. Before the high point of enslaved people narratives, African-American literature was dominated by autobiographical spiritual narratives. The genre known as slave narratives in the 19th century were accounts by people who had generally escaped from slavery, about their journeys to freedom and ways they claimed their lives. The Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s was a great period of flowering in literature and the arts, influenced both by writers who came North in the Great Migration and those who were immigrants from Jamaica and other Caribbean islands.

Gothic Poems

Rachel Lawson

The Ravens 
A flock of ravens floats upon the air over their prey, 
Like a looming black storm cloud of gloom, 
In the later hours of the death of the day, 
They fight each other for room, 
In the melee, one is injured it falls, 
Blood and gore fill the air, 
The air is filled with their dire calls, 
Little did the observers of this carnage care, 
To them, it was merely a display of the nature of the raven, 
Upon the hour they fled, 
They were neither crazed nor craven, 
They were happy and well-fed.

Natures Silken Robes - Bombyx...

Mike Blake

Natures Silken Robes :: Bombyx mandarina 
This poem was inspired by a program I saw on silkworms and their germination and metamorphosis into the adult moths (which they generally never get to because of the demand for their silk). 
Domesticated silk moths don't survive the silk process of obtaining their silk. The death of the silk moth is not described in this Poem. The silk worm trade has been going for over 5,000 years and cultivated mainly in Asia. 
The name the 'Silk Road' came about because of this highly lucrative trade. 
The domesticated silk worms are called Bombyx mori, 
and their Wild cousins are called Bombyx mandarina.
