William Blake

A very old poet painter and prophet, Sir Blake was born on November 28th, 1757 on Broad Street, London, England. Blake was the second child in the family and off to a rough start. As he was growing up his whole family thought he was a failure. He was accused of being a madman because of the claimed visions he had of apparitions. Got older, got outta school, and then married Catherine Boucher. They never had children together. What's unique about his poems is he painted most of them. His most famous poem is [|'the tiger'] And my personal favorite is[|'hear the voice']
