초록

Blake was a poet of imagination, a mystic, and a prophet against
empire. He asserts that the nature of his work is visionary or
imaginative. As for him, writing poetry is an endeavor to restore what the ancients called the Golden Age. By his poetry Blake wanted
to build the Paradise in human society. In other words, he wanted
to build what he called a City of Art, "Golgonooza." So he created
his own myth of creation on the basis of the Bible.
Blake is of all English poets the supreme poet of the City, and
what he wrote on his own city, London, must surely have meaning
for any city. For Blake a city is a living organism, a living spiritual
entity. It is the inner lives of the inhabitants as these act and interact
upon one another. Of this invisible city, composed of a multitude of
lives, the city of stone and brick, of streets and buildings, of palaces
and churches, is only the image and expression. For Blake his city
is above all human.
Blake called the spiritual London "Golgonooza". The construction
of Golgonooza, the utopian city, cannot wait for proper materials: the
stones must be formed of "pity", and the curtains of "woven tears &
sighs."
