Abstract

This study of William Blake’s poetry discovers in his writing the conception of metaphor from an aphoristic foundation which makes it possible to increase the polysemic nature of the image, in an effort to encourage the reader to see reality with its significant plurality, revealing how in every detail or event of life, there is some knowledge which shows the way to the full experience of existence. At the same time, the sources from which the author begins to universalize the message of his poems immersed in the millenary tradition of the sapiential book are offered here.
