※ William Blake (1757~1827, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Blake ) ; an English poet, painter and printmaker.
Largely unrecognised during his life, Blake has become a seminal figure in the history of the poetry and visual art of the Romantic Age.
The 19th-century scholar William Michael Rossetti characterised him as a "glorious luminary", and "a man not forestalled by predecessors, nor to be classed with contemporaries, nor to be replaced by known or readily surmisable successors".
Collaboration with his wife, Catherine Boucher, was instrumental in the creation of many of his books.
Boucher worked as a printmaker and colourist for his works. "For almost forty-five years she was the person who lived and worked most closely with Blake, enabling him to realize numerous projects, impossible without her assistance. Catherine was an artist and printer in her own right," writes the literary scholar Angus Whitehead.

What did people truly want to say to the world?
I want to convey the true heart of the person published here.
With this mindset, I hope to properly express William Blake's heart.
1. The busy bee has no time for sorrow.
바쁜 꿀벌은 슬퍼할 시간이 없다
2. Enlightenment means taking full responsibility for your life.
깨달음은 삶에 대한 모든 책임을 지는 것을 의미한다.
3. The imagination is not a state: it is the human existence itself.
상상력은 어떤 상태나 모양이 아니라 인간 존재 그 자체다.
4. To the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself.
상상력이 있는 사람의 눈에는 자연이 상상력 그 자체다.
5. I myself do nothing.
The Holy Spirit accomplishes all through me.
나 자신은 아무것도 하지 않는다.
성령(聖靈)은 나를 통해 모든 것을 성취한다.
6. When a sinister person means to be your enemy, they always start by trying to become your friend.
불길한 사람이 당신의 적이 되려는 의도가 있을 때, 그는 항상 당신의 친구가 되려고 노력하는 것으로 시작한다.
7. The apple tree never asks the beech how he shall grow, nor the lion, the horse, how he shall take his prey.
사과나무는 자기가 얼마나 가지를 뻗고 열매를 맺을 것인가에 대하여 묻지 않고,
사자는 먹잇감을 낚아채는 방법을 묻지 않으며,
말(馬)은 어디서 얼마나 풀을 뜯으면 되는지에 대해서 결코 묻지 않는다.
[말(言語)을 줄이고 그냥 실천하면서 살라는 뜻]
8. To see a World in a grain of sand and a Heaven in a wild flower, hold Infinity in the palm of your hand and Eternity in an hour.
한 알의 모래에서 세상을 보고, 한 포기 들꽃에서 천국을 보아라.
자신의 손바닥에 무한을 쥐고, 순간 속에 영원을 담아라.
9. Love seeketh not itself to please, nor for itself hath any care, but for another gives its ease, and builds a Heaven in Hell's despair.
사랑은 기꺼이 불편함을 감수하며, 자기 자신을 돌보는 대신 상대방에게 자신의 편안함을 양보하고, 지옥의 절망 속에서도 천국을 건설한다.
10. Without contraries is no progression.
Attraction and repulsion, reason and energy, love and hate, are necessary to human existence.
반작용이 없으면 진전이 없다.
인간의 생존에는 끌어당김과 밀어냄, 근거(根據)와 에너지, 사랑과 증오가 필요하다.
