Jerusalem The Emanation Of The Giant Albion (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162668956)

Jerusalem The Emanation Of The Giant Albion is a visionary and mystical poem written by the English poet and artist William Blake. The poem is part of a larger collection of works known as the prophetic books, which Blake created during the latter half of his life. The poem is divided into four parts and tells the story of the creation and fall of Albion, a mythical giant who represents the spiritual essence of England. Albion is divided into four parts: the head, the heart, the loins, and the feet, each of which represents a different aspect of the human experience. The poem is written in Blake's characteristic style, which combines intricate symbolism and complex metaphors with a powerful emotional intensity. The themes explored in the poem include the nature of human consciousness, the relationship between the spiritual and the material worlds, and the struggle between good and evil. Overall, Jerusalem The Emanation Of The Giant Albion is a complex and deeply philosophical work that has been praised for its beauty, its originality, and its profound insights into the human condition. It remains one of Blake's most celebrated and influential works, and continues to inspire readers and scholars alike.Awake! awake O sleeper of the land of shadows, wake! expand!
