'''William Blake''' (1757-1827) was a [[British]] [[poet]], [[painter]], visionary mystic, and engraver, who illustrated and printed his own books. The best-known are the lyrical ''Songs of Innocence'' (1789) and ''Songs of Experience'' (1794) and his comments on established [[religion]], ''The Marriage of Heaven and Hell'' and ''The Everlasting Gospel''. His best-known work is the opening lines to his poem ''Milton'', which were set to music by Parry, ironically titled "Jerusalem," and is one of the most popular English hymns. He illuminated his self-published writings, illustrated [[Dante]] and Chaucer, and painted singular oils such as ''The Ghost of a Flea''.
