William Blake - English poet, painter, and printer was born on November 28, 1757. You may have read his poems - about the lamb, the tiger, or his sad song about the poor chimney sweep. The strange thing is that in his own time many people thought him mad. Almost a century passed after his death in 1827 before he was recognized as a truly great poet and artist.
His family background was obscure. We don't even know his mother's name. But he showed a talent for drawing early and at 14 he became an apprentice to an engraver. When he was 21 he became an engraver on his own account and later married a girl called Catherine who had learned to draw and paint so that she could work together with him. When he was young, the French Revolution took place and he supported it. In England, a different sort of change was taking place, which was called "The Industrial Revolution".
Blake was horrified at the way the life was being changed, with people young and old obliged to work in "those dark satanic mills."He was particularly angered by the way the new factory owners and employers used child labor, and in many of his poems he defends the rights of childhood.
From the age of thirty, he worked more on his paintings, making colored lithographs by a method he invented. His pictures are often wild and strange, with very strong dramatic colours. They expressed the very complex ideas in his poems. His great message is freedom for each person to develop. He hated slavery, black slavery on the plantations. white slavery in the factories.

ПЕРЕКЛАД
Вільям Блейк - англійський поет, художник і принтер народився 28 листопада 1757 року. Можливо, ви прочитали його вірші - про ягня, тигра чи його сумну пісню про поганий димохід. Дивно, що в свій час багато людей думали, що він злий. Майже століття пройшло після його смерті в 1827 році, перш ніж він був визнаний дійсно великим поетом і художником.
Його сімейний фон був неясним. Ми навіть не знаємо його матері. Але він показав талант на малюнок рано, і в 14 років він став учнем до гравера. Коли йому було 21 рік, він став власником гравюри, а потім одружився з дівчиною під назвою Катерина, яка навчилася малювати та малювати, щоб вона могла працювати разом з ним. Коли він був молодий, відбулася французька революція, і він підтримав це. У Англії відбулися різні зміни, що отримали назву "Промислова революція".
Блейк жахнувся тим, як змінювалося життя, а молоді і старі люди зобов'язані працювати в "цих темних сатанинських комбінатах". Він був особливо обурений тим, як нові власники заводу та роботодавці використовували дитячу працю, а в багатьох його вірші він захищає права дитинства.
З віку тридцяти років він більше працював над своїми картинами, виготовляючи кольорові літографії за винаходом. Його картини часто дикі та дивні, з дуже сильними драматичними кольорами. Вони висловили дуже складні ідеї у своїх віршах. Його велике послання - це свобода для розвитку кожної людини. Він ненавидів рабство, чорне рабство на плантаціях. Біле рабство на заводах.
