like a dying flame looking down from a fired coloured sky a visionary in his earthly life mysterious in every detail tempetuous and yet subjective a lonely genius mused by fierce inspirations tearing imaginations asunder visions of paradise in near abstracted clouds of colour delicate detailed often sombre the spirit of a willing mind writing designing engraving printing copper plates on a rolling press & a poet so sublime none-the-less

A truly wonderful description and exceptional tribute to Blake! Seems to me Blake does not get the credit he deserves in this modern culture of poetry elite that over promote modern poets and so deliberately ignore some of the golden greats.. A fav.. this is a true gem.. Thanks..

Thanks Brian, seems to me more poets should be discussing these legendary poets and offering information that would be useful to those that are unaware of poetry's rich history and its golden poets of old. Just my personal take on -giving- in poetry..
