William BlakeWilliam Blake's exuberant poems are easy to read and understand but full of profound thought and rich imagery. This beautifully illustrated edition contains all of Blake's best known and best loved works, including "The Tyger," "Little Boy Lost," and other selections from his Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience, as well as samples of his later, even more powerful visionary poetry. Together they reveal an amazing insight into human nature that has captivated the hearts and minds of readers young and old for generations. --Sterling Publishing Co. |
