Manage episode 295267275 series 2933655
While largely ignored during his lifetime, Blake in many ways epitomises British Romanticism. He was a talented poet, painter and printmaker and wrote this poem around 1803, although it wasn't published until 60 years later. An augury is another name for an omen.
