Auguries of Innocence ——William Blake William Blake（1757-1827） William Blake was one of the great lyric poets. Blake's early work was written in a classical style. Later he used the romantic style made popular by Wordsworth and Coleridge. Blake was born in London and educated at Henry Pars Drawing School. After becoming established as a graphic designer and drawing tutor, he opened a print shop in London in 1784. He lived in Sussex from 1800 to 1803, during which time he was charged with high treason but acquitted. He returned to London and staged a rather unsuccessful show of his artistic work in 1809, after which he went into obscurity and became a mystic. As a supporter of the French Revolution, he openly criticized the social evils that he linked with the Industrial Revolution. His work is usually seen in the context of his social, political and religious beliefs. He was not really understood by his peers, but twentieth-century readers appreciate the greatness he achieved in his varied fields of interest. Auguries of Innocence 天真的预言 -William Blake 威廉·布莱克 To see a world in a grain of sand 一沙一世界 And a heaven in a wild flower 一花一天国 Hold infinity in the palm of your hand 掌中握无限 And eternity in an hour. 刹那成永恒
A truth that‘s told with bad intent 当真理被恶意利用时 Beats all the lies you can invent. 比一切臆造的谎言更狰狞 It is right it should be so 现实本来就是这样 Man was made for joy and woe 人生来就要面对欢乐和伤悲 And when this we rightly know 只要能明白这一点 Through the world we safely go. 我们就不会再受伤 Every night and every morn 每一个夜晚，每一个清晨 Some to misery are born 有人生来就为不幸伤神 Every morn and every night 每一个清晨，每一个夜晚 Some are born to sweet delight 有人生来就被幸福拥抱
