William Blake @williamblake.bsky.social · 2d

The Pastorals of Virgil, Eclogue I: The Blasted Tree https://clevelandart.org/art/1934.145

In 1820, Blake was commissioned to illustrate a new edition of The Pastorals of Virgil, published as a school text, which included commentary by Dr. Robert John Thornton on the famous poem from the 1st century BC. Blake’s seventeen wood engravings became tremendously influential to the Ancients. Samuel Palmer (also in this gallery) wrote of these wood engravings: "They are visions of little dells, and nooks, and corners of Paradise; models of the exquisitest [sic] pitch of intense poetry... There is in all such a mystic and dreamy glimmer as penetrates and kindles the inmost [sic] soul." Despite Palmer’s poetic description, Blake’s wood engravings were not images of an unchanging paradise. Instead, they record an evershifting and often ambiguous relationship between the artist and his environment. They describe a landscape of Blake’s imagination---a wellspring of dreams and artistic inspiration, yet simultaneously a land of doubts and shadows, sweet delusions and unformed hopes.

Walk

That afternoon
the clouds were sullied
holding their breath of rain,
and the wind
one-handed, shyly
circled the trees again.

It was an hour
when the streets were clear
just an old man, his slowed dog,
and the nearby knock
of a Macmillan Nurse.

It felt like a hole in the day:
where time had fled
and the emptiness left
carried no anticipation.

I thought much of that nurse
and the house overrun
with the dry rot
of cancer,

how perhaps
round a downstairs bed
she helped like a priest,
dissolve the glass,
so the clouds and the wind
could be welcomed.

Lovely ending of glass dissolving in the clouds…

Dear @hool415.bsky.social and #PromptCombo #Visitor,
#poetry #mysticverse,

This poem is for a friend in Durham, who reminded me why I write —
that meaning lives in the smallest words, and we should never give up seeking our voice.
For all of us who keep supporting one another.

Thank you, lichtbringer, that is very kind of you to say. Would you mind kindly sharing an email address so that I can send you the attachment?
Would also be nice to know your first name—if you feel like sharing that.

We are like water.
Deep down we know
we are also steam or ice,
but we only remember it
when we become.

Thank you lichtbringer for initiating the thread. I call this “crossing verses”.

On a different topic, I’m distributing free PDF copies of this novel. I thought, given your writing style —it may be of interest.
Would you like one?

Poetry—the world

Will they remember
The names of those who lost them—
A day of summer?

First time I read crime fiction—The Night of the Crash.
Masterful atmosphere, poignant and realistic details of post traumatic amnesia. Perhaps, the way characters are written tells even more than the plot.
Beautiful writing.

A surreal cave, a lover’s voice in the dark, and the revelation that the monsters we fight often wear our own face.
