william blake

soho 1757- 1827 fountain court strand

poet painter printer

romanticism
--
world of imagination spiritual things
religion first not kings
poor most of his life
comfort from marriage-wife

third of seven children born
parents morovian protestants sworn
piety- missions- music- unity
a strictly religious community

not noticed much in his time
they thought that was ok onetime
puritanical cromwell just the same
killjoys-to much the religious game

i do like his music though
an inspiring so and so
jerusalem-and did those feet
you got me kid-i cant compete
