The Mental Traveller
"The Mental Traveller" is a poem by William Blake. It is part of a collection of unpublished works called ''The Pickering Manuscript'' and was written in a manner that suggests the poem was to be read directly from the collection.
The poem is about travelling in the realm of the mind. Blake generalizes here "about the spiritual history of mankind out the experience of his own spiritual history."〔Hirsch, p. 312〕 It can be also understood as a cycle history of relations between society and idea of liberty in the form of a male and female that grow older and younger in opposition to the other experiencing such changes. As a whole, the poem portrays conflicting ideas that make it difficult for the reader to attach to any given viewpoint.
==Background==
''The Mental Traveller'' was not etched, printed or published by Blake and instead stayed as a manuscript.〔Stevenson 1996 p. 37〕 The poem was part of ''The Pickering Manuscript'', a collection of 10 poems without illustrations and 8 are fair copies without corrections. Since they were written in this manner, they were copied into the manuscript in order to be read from the collection. The manuscript was owned by B. M. Pickering in 1866, for which the manuscript receives its name.〔Johnson and Grant 1979 pp. 200–201〕 It was published for the first time in 1863 in the 2nd volume of Alexander Gilchrist's Life of William Blake, Pictor ignotus, p. 98-102, by Dante Gabriel Rossetti with the commentary of his brother William Michael Rossetti.
The poem was later translated multiple times. In September 1925 of the French magazine ''Navire'' focused on Blake and included a series of translations by Auguste Morel and Annie Hervieu which included a translation of the poem called ''Le Voyageur mental''.〔McDougalland Wineapple 1976 p. 55〕 Later, ''The Mental Traveller'' was translated by Pablo Neruda into Spanish and published in 1935 in ''Visiones de las hijas de Albión y El viajero mental, de William Blake''.〔Belitt 1974 p. 429〕
