Well, maybe …

 William Blake review – a rousing call to arms | Art and design | The Guardian. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)



I read a lot of Blake when I was young. I can't say I was ever sure I got what he was driving at, but I always found him — and still find him — thrilling. I cannot, however, see him at the center of any organized sociopolitical movement, and to attach him in any way to today's goofy politics seems to me to trivialize him.
