초록

Blake's imagination is revealed through his views on aspects of "all deities in the human breast"(S111), which pervade virtually all his prophetic poems. Blake's theme of pursuing divine reality against the world of Urizen and Spectre is evident in his poems: Milton, The First Book of Urizen, Jerusalem, and especially in Marriage of Heaven and Hell. In Blake's poetics, Spectre is unable to sympathize with any other person as the rational power, and Urizen becomes 'the God of This world' as 'Your Reason'. Blake's vision of "new heaven" can never be a collection of dogmas and rituals in his prophetic poems. Jerusalem is a celebration of the creative imagination in opposition to the static Urizenic world. Blake's imagination is represented by such poetic phrases as "all deities in human breast" and "the spiritual sword." Los, a poet of Jerusalem, struggles to clarify imagination, freeing it from the dogmatic structures. Los toils in the furnace in hope "to form the spiritual sword/ that lays open the hidden heart"(S647). A poet's imagination becomes the redemptive power for recovering "all deities in the human breast."

Abstract

Blake's imagination is revealed through his views on aspects of "all deities in the human breast"(S111), which pervade virtually all his prophetic poems. Blake's theme of pursuing divine reality against the world of Urizen and Spectre is evident in his poems: Milton, The First Book of Urizen, Jerusalem, and especially in Marriage of Heaven and Hell. In Blake's poetics, Spectre is unable to sympathize with any other person as the rational power, and Urizen becomes 'the God of This world' as 'Your Reason'. Blake's vision of "new heaven" can never be a collection of dogmas and rituals in his prophetic poems. Jerusalem is a celebration of the creative imagination in opposition to the static Urizenic world. Blake's imagination is represented by such poetic phrases as "all deities in human breast" and "the spiritual sword." Los, a poet of Jerusalem, struggles to clarify imagination, freeing it from the dogmatic structures. Los toils in the furnace in hope "to form the spiritual sword/ that lays open the hidden heart"(S647). A poet's imagination becomes the redemptive power for recovering "all deities in the human breast."
