„Nie znajdziesz tam niczego, prócz śmierci”. Symbole tanatologiczne w twórczości Williama Blake’a (na przykładzie poematu „Czterej Zoa”)
Journal Title: Amor Fati - Year 2015, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
The purpose of this thesis is to present, discuss and interpret the thanatological motifs and themes in William Blake’s poem “Vala, or the Four Zoas”, regarded as crucial in understanding his extraordinary vision of the world, the concept of "The Fall" and salvation. The analysis comprises the following ideas and characters of Blake’s mythology: “Eternal Death”, symbolizing dying and the watery kingdom of Tharmas, “ressurection in death”, dissolution of Four Zoas and separation from their female Emanations. The article was enriched with illustrations by William Blake depicting various images of death with the reference to his literary works such as: “For the Sexes: The Gates of Paradise” or “Jerusalem. The Emanation of the Giant Albion”.
