Introductie
‘Jewels of Light’
Bron:William Blake(1757 – 1827), ‘To Thomas Butts’
Jacobs Ladder, of Jacobs Droom (detail): William Blake, illustratie in een bijbel, geschilderd voor
Thomas Butts, c. 1799-1807 (British Museum)
To my friend Butts I writeMy first vision of lightOn the yellow sands sittingThe sun was emittingHis glorious beamsFrom Heaven’s high streamsOver sea, over landMy eyes did expandInto regions of airAway from all careInto regions of fireRemotre from desireThe light of the morningHeaven’s mountains adorningIn particles brightThe jewels of lightDistinct shone and clearAmaz’d and in fearI each particle gazèdAstonish’d, amazèdFor each was a ManHuman-form’d. Swift I ranFor they beckon’d to meRemote by the seaSaying: ‘Each grain of sandEvery stone on the land
Each rock and each hillEach fountain and rillEach herb and each treeMountain, hill, earth and seaCloud, meteor, and starAre men seen afar.’I stood in the streamsOf Heaven’s bright beamsAnd saw Felpham sweetBeneath my bright feetIn soft Female charmsAnd in her fair armsMy Shadow I knewAnd my wife’s Shadow tooAnd my sister, and friendWe like infants descendIn our Shadows on earthLike a weak mortal birthMy eyes, more and moreLike a sea without shoreContinue expandingThe Heavens commandingTill the jewels of lightHeavenly men beaming brightAppear’d as One ManWho complacent began
My limbs to enfoldIn His Beams of bright goldLike dross purg’d awayAll my mire and my claySoft consum’d in delightIn His bosom sun-brightI remain’d. Soft He smil’dAnd I heard His voice mildSaying: ‘This is My foldO Thou ram horn’d with goldWho awakest from sleepOn the sides of the deepOn the mountains aroundThe roaring resoundOf the lion and wolfThe loud sea, and deep gulfThese are guards of My foldO Thou ram horn’d with gold!’And the voice faded mildI remain’d as a childAll I ever had knownBefore me bright shoneI saw you and your wifeBy the fountains of lifeSuch a vision to meAppear’d on the sea
