The Sick Rose
- William Blake
O Rose thou art sick
The invisible worm
That flies in the night
in the howling storm
Has found out thy bed
Of crimson joy:
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy
------------------------------------------------------
병든 장미
- 윌리엄 블레이크
오 장미야, 너 병들었구나
울부짖는 폭풍 속에서
밤에 날아다니는
보이지 않는 벌레가
진홍빛 기쁨의
네 침대를 찾아내어,
그의 검고 비밀한 사랑으로
너의 생명을 파멸시키는구나
--------------------------------------------------------------
William Blake
William Blake (28 November 1757 – 12 August 1827) was an
English poet,
painter, and printmaker. Largely unrecognised during his
lifetime, Blake is now considered a seminal figure in the history of
both the poetry and visual
arts of the Romantic Age.
His prophetic poetry has been said to form "what is in proportion to
its merits the least read body of poetry in the English language".
His visual artistry has led one contemporary art critic
to proclaim him
"far and away the greatest artist Britain has ever produced"
Although he lived in London his entire life except for three years spent in Felpham he produced a diverse and symbolically
rich corpus, which embraced the imagination as "the body of God",
or "Human existence itself"
