Eternity is in love with the productions of time.
Great introduction to Blake, thank you
So grateful that the essence of Blake continues to lead our minds to a greater understanding of achieving a state of mind which exists between thinking and being🌟 he was a man before his time ❤️
Why be bleak when you can be Blake, love that, a feeling of sanctity towards of one's surroundings is necessary.
Sad thing Blake lived with deep dark imaginative reasoning and people never saw the genius in his time. Rather like Kafka and Van G ....I loved his milton inspired work and think he was probably driven mad by that work literarly ....because in his etchings he worked on he used lead paints etc and so prpbably inavertantly was posioning himself and i think that was the reason for his madness. Genius is often found and recoiled better after death.... In this world anyone with half a brain wants to write a book and sadly they do. The best often go unhearalded for there's is formed over longer periods..and pain...because every poet like it or not needs that.

Totally fails to understand incarnation (Blake to Robinson), seems to understand self annihilation as a way of seeing visions rather than a mental fight against the abstractions of the rational and the mind forg'd manacles, hilarious example of Rousseau great rationalist enemy of Blake as a comparable visionary. Sorry Mr Higgs you just don't get him. This was only after the first twenty minutes. I will watch the rest but suspect the book is a way of making Blake 'relevant' and 'accessible' rather than exploring the eccentric but revolutionary Christian that he essentially was.
