The language of early poetry is simple and easy to understand, mainly short poems, with short syllables, and the theme content is mainly what you see and hear in life; However, the length of later poems increased obviously, sometimes reaching hundreds or even thousands of lines, and the content was obviously obscure, with mystery, religion and symbol as the main characteristics.
Blake's most quoted and recited poems, such as Chimney Cleaner, Nanny's Song, Sick Rose and Ode to the Tiger, can all be regarded as part of constructing Blake's "paradise prototype". As a teenager of Ezekiel, he saw a religious illusion when he was four years old. He could talk quietly with the "White God" in friendly language. Although the world is low and his writing style is sluggish, Blake devoted himself to the "secular satire" movement similar to Bunyan and Marlowe with great innocence and magnificent imagination and fighting capacity.
Through the meeting with Catherine, a country girl who accompanied him all his life, Blake learned about fairy tales and chastity in the hearts of ordinary people, and compared them with his own experience and imagination. With reference to many fabled fairy tales written and circulated since the Middle Ages and his unique image creativity, Blake left behind the most important collection of poems in18th century: Marriage between Heaven and Hell-A Hymn of Imagination and Innocence and Experience. Blake built the grand and solemn top floor of the world church, where the proverbs of ideal and reality sparkled, reminding the virgin of cleanliness and solemnity at all times.
Blake never denied that he was an imaginative and creative person, but his contemporaries were puzzled not only by his strange behavior and enthusiastic energy, but also by his profound and respectable appearance. Blake is obviously not a writer who writes for an era that belongs to his material destiny. Like Arthur Rambo, he disturbed his senses in varying degrees based on mysterious and fantastic experiences, and found his conversion and belief in "Paradise Poetry", thus moving towards freedom and praise. Perhaps this is the most important experience and value left by Blake. Blake's bold expressions of "the cry of roses" and "the truth is always hidden in the crazy twilight" found a mysterious experience road extending from "the dark chimney" to "the paradise of roses".
Blake's poem "At the end of the wasteland, fingers can touch the sky" inspired Spanish painters greco and Dali. In "Eternity of Memory" and "Fable Imagination of Spanish Civil War", Da expressed his memory and praise for the greatest poet in the18th century with the brush strokes of genius.
Milton was written by Blake at 18 10. By 19 16, Sir Hubert Parry had set the poem to music and renamed it Jerusalem, which became one of the most popular hymns in Britain.
