Subject: RE: BS: What is 'Heaven and Hell'?
Well, I suppose I ask for it when I quote bleeding chunks of Blake. I think it would be good, before having a go at the poor chap for not expressing himself very well, to look deeper at the two references in that post of mine. It'll be one of your more enjoyable googles, I promise. I actually think he's rather good at expressing ideas, getting to the heart of things. Poetry without hard labour, art concealing art. He's a free spirit who can be exasperating. He's almost an exact contemporary of Beethoven, my favourite free spirit of all (er, along with Darwin...), who could also be exasperating. That's free spirits for you.
