I am thy life. | Jerusalem replied. I am an outcast: Albion is dead: | I am left to the trampling foot & the spurning heel: | A Harlot I am call'd. I am sold from street to street: | I am defaced with blows & with the dirt of the Prison : | And wilt thou become my Husband, O my Lord & Saviour? | Shall Vala bring thee forth? shall the Chaste be ashamed also? | I see the Maternal Line, I behold the Seed of the Woman: | Cainah & Ada & Zillah & Naamah, Wife of Noah. | Shuah's daughter & Tamar & Rahab the Canaanites; | Ruth the Moabite & Bathsheba of the daughters of Heth, | Naamah the Ammonite, Zibeah the Philistine, & Mary. | These are the Daughters of Vala, Mother of the Body of death: | But I thy Magdalen behold thy Spiritual Risen Body. | Shall Albion arise? I know he shall arise at the Last Day! | I know that in my flesh I shall see God: but Emanations | Are weak, they know not whence they are, nor whither tend. | Jesus replied, I am the Resurrection & the Life. | I Die & pass the limits of possibility, as it appears | To individual perception. Luvah must be Created, | And Vala; for I cannot leave them in the gnawing Grave, | But will prepare a way for my banished-ones to return. | Come now with me into the villages, walk thro' all the cities : | Tho' thou art taken to prison & judgment, starved in the streets, | I will command the cloud to give thee food & the hard rock | To flow with milk & wine, tho' thou seest me not a season, | Even a long season, & a hard journey & a howling wilderness: | Tho' Vala's cloud hide thee & Luvah's fires follow thee: | Only believe & trust in me. Lo, I am always with thee! | So spoke the Lamb of God while Luvah's Cloud reddening above | Burst forth in streams of blood upon the heavens, & dark night | Involv'd Jerusalem, & the Wheels of Albion's Sons turn'd hoarse | Over the Mountains, & the fires blaz'd on Druid Altars, | And the Sun set in Tyburn's Brook where Victims howl & cry. | But Los beheld the Divine Vision among the flames of the Furnaces : | Therefore he lived & breathed in hope, but his tears fell incessant | Because his Children were clos'd from him apart: & Enitharmon | Dividing in fierce pain : also the Vision of God was clos'd in clouds | Of Albion's Spectres, that Los in despair oft sat, & often pondered, | On Death Eternal, in fierce shudders upon the mountains of Albion | Walking, & in the vales in howlings fierce: then to his Anvils | Turning, anew began his labours, tho' in terrible pains." 500303557 Yale Center for British Art http://britishart.yale.edu B1992.8.1(62) Not on view Yale Center for British Art 41.3080060, -72.9306282 Bentley Copy E 13 1/2 x 10 3/8 inches (34.3 x 26.4 cm) height cm 34.3 width cm 26.4 Sheet 8 1/4 x 5 7/8 inches (21 x 15 cm) height cm 21.0 width cm 15.0 Plate 3495 300054713 production Print made by William Blake, 1757–1827, British ycba_actor_248 http://catalogo.bne.es/uhtbin/authoritybrowse.cgi?action=display&authority_id=XX853571 http://d-nb.info/gnd/118511513 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Blake http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n78095331 http://id.ndl.go.jp/auth/ndlna/00433456 http://isni-url.oclc.nl/isni/000000012096135X http://libris.kb.se/resource/auth/178705 http://viaf.org/viaf/54144439 http://vocab.getty.edu/ulan/500012489 http://www.idref.fr/026730626/id https://n2t.net/ark:/99166/w6h132g2 https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q41513 Blake, William, 1757-1827 Uil'iam Bleik William Blake Blake William, 1757–1827 William Blake, 1757–1827 Print made by William Blake, 1757–1827 7011413 7011781 7011781 British 1757 1827 male 300025103 Artist 300112172 draftsman (artist) 300025165 engraver (printmaker) 300025123 illustrator 300025136 painter 300025569 philosopher 300025513 poet 300025164 printmaker 300025157 watercolorist 300025492 writer Print made by 300111159 British 1804 to 1820 1804 1820 24 19th century Relief etching printed in orange ink, with watercolor and pen and black ink on moderately thick, smooth, cream wove paper 300178614 relief etching 300014187 wove paper 300015045 watercolor black ink William Blake: Burning Bright (Yale Center for British Art, 2025-09-04 - 2025-12-07) 1122 https://britishart.yale.edu/node/2330/edit 300054766 exhibition William Blake: Burning Bright Yale Center for British Art Yale Center for British Art ycba_actor_1281 https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6352575 http://vocab.getty.edu/ulan/500303557 https://viaf.org/viaf/155449049 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n77005277 Yale Center for British Art BAC YCBA British Art Center 1977 0 2025-09-04 - 2025-12-07 2025-09-04 2025-12-07 Yale Center for British Art ycba_actor_1281 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n77005277 http://vocab.getty.edu/ulan/500303557 https://viaf.org/viaf/155449049 https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6352575 Yale Center for British Art New Haven 7014210 New Haven 300435424 One of the most compelling figures in the history of British art and poetry, William Blake (1757–1827) developed an idiosyncratic worldview during a tumultuous era that witnessed the American and French Revolutions. He expressed his radical perspectives on religious belief, politics, and society through highly original illuminated books, watercolors, paintings, and poetry. This exhibition showcases the Yale Center for British Art’s impressive collection of works by Blake, with special focus on the inventive hand-printed publications that bring to life his poetry and prophecies. --- --- The YCBA’s extensive holdings include Blake’s most innovative and celebrated books, such as Songs of Innocence and of Experience (1789–94) and The First Book of Urizen (1794). Blake’s mastery of watercolor painting and his phenomenal imaginative powers are evident in the one-of-a-kind illustrations for The Poems of Thomas Gray (between 1797 and 1798) and in the only fully hand-colored version of his culminating poem, the 100-page Jerusalem (1804–20). This stunning presentation highlights the artist’s ambitious vision and skill, as well as his unparalleled contributions to art, literature, and spirituality. --- --- About William Blake --- Born in London at a time of major social change and upheaval, Blake aspired to be an artist and a poet from a young age. During his apprenticeship, he developed an elegant black-and-white engraving style that he deployed in both commissioned and original prints and book illustrations. He is best known for devising an unorthodox technique to create colorful illuminated books that merged his poetry and his art. His most notable innovation was a method for printing text and image from a single copper plate. Blake’s work was largely unacknowledged during his lifetime, yet today his striking imagery and stirring words are widely celebrated.

The exhibition focused on portrait, subject, and narrative prints, investigating themes such as the cult of the hero in the Romantic period, the relationship between literature and the visual arts, and the depiction of contemporary historical events, such as the American and French Revolutions, and the Napoleonic Wars. Among the artists featured were Benjamin West, Henry Fuseli, and J. M. W. Turner, the great visionary artist-engravers William Blake and John Martin, and the subversive twenty-first century heirs of Romanticism, Jake and Dinos Chapman. Special emphasis was placed on techniques and processes. — — Credits — — The exhibition was organized by Gillian Forrester, Associate Curator of Prints and Drawings at the Center, and Eric Stryker, doctoral candidate in the History of Art, Yale University. — — Yale Center for British Art William Blake (Tate Britain, 2000-11-02 - 2001-02-04) 67 300054766 exhibition William Blake Yale Center for British Art Tate Britain ycba_actor_1284 http://vocab.getty.edu/ulan/500266827 https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q195436 http://viaf.org/viaf/235803538 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/nr00020808 Tate Britain The Board of Trustees of the Tate Gallery 0 0 300311675 Borrower 2000-11-02 - 2001-02-04 2000-11-02 2001-02-04 Tate Britain ycba_actor_1284 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/nr00020808 http://viaf.org/viaf/235803538 http://vocab.getty.edu/ulan/500266827 https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q195436 Tate Britain London 7011781 London The Human Form Divine - William Blake from the Paul Mellon Collection (Yale Center for British Art, 1997-04-02 - 1997-07-06) 635 https://britishart.yale.edu/node/716 300054766 exhibition The Human Form Divine - William Blake from the Paul Mellon Collection Yale Center for British Art Yale Center for British Art ycba_actor_1281 https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6352575 http://vocab.getty.edu/ulan/500303557 https://viaf.org/viaf/155449049 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n77005277 British Art Center Yale Center for British Art BAC YCBA 1977 0 63 Organizer 1997-04-02 - 1997-07-06 1997-04-02 1997-07-06 Yale Center for British Art ycba_actor_1281 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n77005277 http://vocab.getty.edu/ulan/500303557 https://viaf.org/viaf/155449049 https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6352575 Yale Center for British Art New Haven 7014210 New Haven 300435424 In the spring of 1997, the Center celebrated its twentieth anniversary with an exhibition of its incomparable collection of illuminated books, engravings, and drawings by William Blake. The Center’s founder, Paul Mellon (Yale College, Class of 1929), assembled a rich and remarkable group of works over a lifetime of personal involvement with the poetry and art of this romantic paragon. For this comprehensive survey of the collection, several of the Center’s twelve illuminated books were exhibited in their entirety for the first time. These included Blake’s masterwork, the unique, colored copy of Jerusalem, two copies of the pastoral Songs of Innocence, and the prophetic Songs of Experience, Book of Urizen, Book of Thel, and America a Prophecy. Blake’s work as a painter was represented by individual tempera paintings from his series of illustrations to the Bible commissioned by Thomas Butts. A generous selection of forty sheets from the watercolor illustrations to the Poems of Thomas Gray revealed the magnificent range of Blake’s interpretive genius and the brilliance of his watercolor technique. — — Credits — — Patrick Noon, Curator of Prints, Drawings, and Rare Books at the Center, organized this special exhibition, which was accompanied by a catalogue illustrated in color.
